SIBI-P1 H3988-01
I will spurn
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol), 1st common singular of מאס. Simple active stem expressing ongoing, future, or modal action by the speaker. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מאס conveys active rejection with contempt or disdain. The form אֶמְאַס is Qal imperfect, first common singular, indicating a simple active action by "I" that is incomplete or future in aspect; "I will spurn" preserves both the volitional/future sense and the force of deliberate rejection inherent in the root. |
