SIBI-P1 H3847-28

you will clothe yourself

Rootלבש (l-b-sh)
Core Meaningsto wrap, to clothe, to put on, to be clothed, to array
Semantic Rangeto put on clothing, to wear, to be dressed in, to array oneself (including armor), to be enveloped in qualities metaphorically (e.g., righteousness, shame, strength)
Conceptual Significanceלבש frequently conveys more than physical dressing; it can signify assuming a role, status, or spiritual quality. Being "clothed" with righteousness, strength, or the Spirit reflects identity and divine empowerment, making the verb a key metaphor for transformation and covenantal identity in the biblical text.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol/jussive forms attested), 2nd person masculine singular from the root לבש. The form expresses incomplete action—future, habitual, or modal depending on context.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem conveys the simple active sense of putting on or wrapping oneself in a garment. The imperfect 2nd masculine singular form is reflected in "you will," addressing one male individual, and "clothe yourself" preserves the reflexive nuance often inherent in this verb in Qal contexts.
