SIBI-P1 Translation H4672-64
you will find
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular; simple active voice, incomplete aspect. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to find/encounter." The imperfect 2nd masculine singular form conveys incomplete or future-oriented action, hence "you will find," directly reflecting person, number, and stem. |
