SIBI-P1 H2930-30
she will become defiled
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person feminine singular from the root טמא. The Qal stem conveys a stative sense: to become or be in a state of uncleanness. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd feminine singular form תִּטְמָא expresses a future or modal action performed by a feminine singular subject. "She will become defiled" preserves the stative sense of the Qal stem (to become unclean) and clearly reflects the feminine singular subject indicated by the morphology. |
