SIBI-P1 H7931-50
he will dwell
| Root | שכן (sh-k-n) |
| Core Meanings | to settle, dwell, abide, reside, tabernacle |
| Semantic Range | to reside in a place, to settle down, to remain, to abide continually, to inhabit (of people or nations), to dwell among (of God with His people). |
| Conceptual Significance | This root underlies the biblical concept of divine indwelling, later expressed in the term "Shekinah." It conveys not merely presence but settled, relational habitation—especially of YHWH dwelling among Israel. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from שָׁכַן; denotes incomplete, future, or habitual action in active voice. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form יִשְׁכָּן is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating that "he" will or does dwell. "He will dwell" preserves the simple active sense of the Qal stem and reflects the masculine singular subject while retaining the root idea of settled, ongoing residence. |
