SIBI-P1 G1510-19

they will come-to-be

Rootεἰμί (eimi)
Core Meaningsbe, exist, come to be, happen, belong, be present
Semantic Rangeto exist, to be, to become, to happen, to be present, to belong or stand in a relation (e.g., covenant identity), to signify equivalence
Conceptual SignificanceAs the fundamental verb of being, εἰμί underlies key theological affirmations of identity and existence, including covenant formulas ("they will be my people") and declarations of divine self-identification. The future form often expresses promised identity, destiny, or assured states within God’s redemptive purposes.
Morphological NotesVerb; future middle indicative; 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IFM3,,P,). From εἰμί; future form ἔσομαι with middle morphology but active meaning.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "they will come-to-be" reflects the future tense (what will occur), indicative mood (stated as fact), third person plural ("they"), and the verb’s core sense of existence or being. Although future in form is middle (ἔσονται), εἰμί functions deponently, so the middle form carries active meaning; the phrase preserves the dynamic sense of entering or continuing in a state of being.
