SIBI-P1 H8055-24
may you rejoice (masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect/jussive form of שׂמח. Attested here primarily as 2nd masculine singular jussive (HVqj2ms), and once as 3rd feminine singular imperfect (HVqi3fs). The Qal stem expresses the simple, active sense: to experience joy. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שׂמח conveys the idea of brightening up or experiencing joy. In the Qal stem with a 2ms jussive form (HVqj2ms), it expresses a wish or exhortation directed to one masculine individual, hence "may you rejoice." The same spelling can also function as a 3fs imperfect ("she will rejoice"), but the predominant morphology here reflects a masculine singular addressee. |
