SIBI-P1 H3372-25
you (masculine plural) shall stand in awe
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, imperfect/jussive, 2nd person masculine plural (HVqj2mp). The Qal expresses the simple active sense: “you (m.pl.) fear/revere.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ירא conveys fear in the sense of awe, reverence, or dread. The form is Qal imperfect/jussive 2nd person masculine plural, so the rendering reflects a direct address to a group of males or a mixed group with masculine grammatical marking: “you (masculine plural) shall.” “Stand in awe” preserves the reverential dimension of the root beyond mere fright. |
