you will attend to them
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 2ms with 3mp suffix denotes a simple active action performed by "you" toward "them." "Attend to" preserves the core sense of פקד as active oversight or taking account, without narrowing it to a single contextual nuance such as numbering or punishing. |
