you (masculine) shall consume
| Root | אכל (ʾ-k-l) |
| Core Meanings | to eat, to consume, to devour, to partake |
| Semantic Range | to eat food, to partake of a meal, to consume or devour, to burn up (of fire), to destroy metaphorically, to enjoy or experience fully |
| Conceptual Significance | Eating in the Hebrew Bible signifies not only physical nourishment but also covenant participation, fellowship, and the experience of blessing or judgment. The act of "consuming" can depict both sustenance granted by YHWH and destructive forces under His sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), imperfect (yiqtol) conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular. The imperfect may express future action, habitual action, or modal nuance depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אכל conveys the act of eating or consuming, whether literal food or something metaphorically devoured (such as fire consuming). The form is Qal imperfect 2nd masculine singular, indicating simple active action performed by "you" (masculine singular), hence "you (masculine) shall consume." |
