SIBI-P1 H1696-01

I will declare

Morphological NotesVerb; Piel stem (intensive/causative nuance); imperfect (yiqtol) form; 1st common singular. The Piel of דבר frequently denotes deliberate or formal speech rather than casual utterance.
Rendering RationaleThe root דבר carries the sense of arranging or setting forth words, hence speaking or declaring. In the Piel stem, the verb often expresses intentional, emphatic, or formal speech. The first common singular imperfect form is rendered "I will declare," preserving both the intensive nuance of Piel and the 1st person singular verbal form.
