SIBI-P1 H7931-50

he will dwell

Rootשכן (sh-k-n)
Core Meaningsto settle, dwell, abide, reside, tabernacle
Semantic Rangeto 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 SignificanceThis 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 NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from שָׁכַן; denotes incomplete, future, or habitual action in active voice.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
