Rootנפל (n-p-l)
Core Meaningsfalling, descending, collapsing, being cast down, perishing
Semantic Rangeto fall physically, collapse, be slain, fall in battle, fall in judgment, fall from status, perish, be cast down, lie prostrate
Conceptual Significanceנפל frequently conveys themes of judgment, defeat, mortality, and divine intervention. In biblical theology, the falling of individuals or nations often signifies the outworking of YHWH’s justice, the humbling of the proud, or the downfall of enemies before His purposes.
Morphological NotesVerb; Qal stem (simple active); imperfect (yiqtol) aspect; 3rd person masculine plural. No pronominal suffix. Denotes an action expected, habitual, or future from the speaker’s perspective.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural, indicating a simple active action performed by "they" (masculine plural) in future or incomplete aspect. "They will fall down" preserves the core sense of נפל as physical or figurative falling and reflects the plural masculine subject inherent in the morphology.
