we will drink
| Root | שתה (sh-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | to drink, to imbibe, to consume liquid, to partake (figuratively) |
| Semantic Range | to drink liquid; to partake in a feast; to drink wine; figuratively, to experience or absorb (e.g., wrath, suffering); to engage in communal celebration |
| Conceptual Significance | Drinking in the Hebrew Bible often signifies covenant fellowship, celebration, or participation in blessing or judgment. As an act shared in community, "we will drink" can imply solidarity, covenant participation, or collective acceptance of what YHWH gives—whether joy or judgment. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), first common plural (1cp). The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense: "we drink" or "we will drink," depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal imperfect, first common plural, expressing a simple active action performed by "we." The rendering "we will drink" preserves the straightforward sense of the root שתה (to imbibe) and accurately reflects the first-person plural verbal form. |
