he will walk onward

Rootילך (y-l-k)
Core Meaningsto walk, to go, to proceed, to move along a path
Semantic Rangeto go, walk, depart, proceed, travel, conduct oneself, advance, come or go away, carry out (in extended or figurative senses)
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb expresses the fundamental biblical motif of walking as a metaphor for one’s life path, conduct, and covenantal obedience. Movement—whether physical journey or moral direction—frames much of Israel’s understanding of relationship with YHWH.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular; some occurrences reflect jussive nuance ("may he walk/go"). No pronominal suffixes. Simple active stem.
Rendering RationaleThe form is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple active action performed by "he" in incomplete or future aspect. "He will walk onward" preserves the core root sense of physical or figurative movement along a path while accurately reflecting the masculine singular subject and verbal stem.
