to come

Morphological NotesHR/Vqc indicates Hif'il? (disputed) or Qal infinitive construct (standard for בּוֹא); cohortative-like infinitive prefixed with לְ-, used for purpose, result, or temporal clauses; occurs 81 times, often governing motion verbs.
Rendering RationaleThe form לָבוֹא is the Qal infinitive construct of בוא, denoting purpose or action of coming/entering, with no pronominal suffixes, gender, number, or person markers to reflect; 'to come' directly preserves the root's core semantic field of motion toward a point while matching the non-finite, general morphology. This rendering maintains semantic connections to arrival and entry without introducing English specifics absent in the Hebrew. It adheres to the Qal stem's simple active voice.
