he will fall
| Root | נפל (n-p-l) |
| Core Meanings | falling, collapsing, descending, being cast down, perishing |
| Semantic Range | to fall physically, collapse, be overthrown, die, fall in battle, fall in judgment, fall prostrate, fall by lot, be cast down |
| Conceptual Significance | The verb often marks moments of judgment, defeat, mortality, or humble submission before YHWH. Falling can signify both physical collapse and theological realities such as divine judgment, human frailty, or reverent prostration. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal (simple active) imperfect, 3rd masculine singular from the root נפל. The imperfect commonly expresses future, habitual, or modal action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form יִפֹּל is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple active action performed by a masculine singular subject. "He will fall" preserves the core root sense of downward movement or collapse and accurately reflects the person, number, gender, and stem of the verb. |
