SIBI-P1 `H3920-38`

they will be captured

Root	לכד (l-k-d)
Core Meanings	to catch, capture, seize, ensnare, take possession, bind together
Semantic Range	to be captured in battle, to be seized or taken, to be ensnared in a trap, to be overtaken, to be bound or held fast; figuratively, to be caught in circumstances or judgment
Conceptual Significance	Often used in contexts of warfare or divine judgment, this verb underscores vulnerability before a stronger force—frequently highlighting YHWH’s sovereignty in delivering nations or individuals into captivity or allowing them to be overtaken as a consequence of covenantal unfaithfulness.
Morphological Notes	Niphal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine plural from לכד; passive/reflexive stem indicating the subject receives the action; plural masculine subject implied by verbal form.
Rendering Rationale	The root לכד conveys the act of catching or capturing, often in a military or judicial sense. The Niphal stem marks a passive or reflexive action, and the imperfect 3rd masculine plural form indicates "they will be" (or "they shall be") captured, preserving both the passive voice and masculine plural subject.
