SIBI-P1 H7139-05
they will bald themselves
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd person masculine plural from קרח; denotes an incomplete or future action performed by a masculine plural subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of the root קרח—baldness or making bald—by using the verbal form "bald" in English. The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural form (HVqi3mp) is reflected by "they will," indicating third person masculine plural with future/incomplete aspect, and the reflexive sense is conveyed by "themselves," consistent with the verb’s usage of making oneself bald. |
