SIBI-P1 H398-154
he shall eat
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular (HVqi3ms), with some occurrences reflecting jussive nuance (HVqj3ms). Denotes simple active voice: "he will/shall eat" or "let him eat." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating simple active action performed by "he." "He shall eat" preserves the basic, concrete sense of the root אכל (to eat/consume) while reflecting the masculine singular subject and the imperfect/jussive nuance of future or modal action. |
