SIBI-P1 Translation H3045-129
and you will know
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple act of knowing or perceiving. The sequential perfect (vav-consecutive) with 2nd person masculine plural conveys a forward-moving action, hence "and you will know," preserving both the conjunction and the plural addressees. |
