you will write
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of the root כתב, meaning to write or inscribe. The imperfect 2nd person masculine singular form is rendered as "you will write," preserving both the active voice and masculine singular address. |
