SIBI-P1 H5564-26
they will support / lean upon
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. Indicates simple active action performed by “they,” with future or incomplete aspect. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural form conveys a simple active future sense: “they will.” The rendering preserves the root idea of physical or figurative support (סמך) while reflecting the third person masculine plural subject. "Support / lean upon" maintains the core imagery of propping or laying weight upon something. |
