SIBI-P1 H3559-78
he will be firmly established
| Root | כון (k-w-n) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, stability, establishment, readiness, proper ordering |
| Semantic Range | to be established, be set up, be made firm, be prepared, be fixed in place, be confirmed, be made ready, be securely ordered |
| Conceptual Significance | כון expresses the biblical concept of stability granted or ordained by God—whether of a throne, kingdom, plans, or a person’s steps. What is "established" stands secure because it has been set in place according to divine order and purpose. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from כון in the Niphal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. Niphal conveys a passive or reflexive sense: "be established, be set firm." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Niphal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, expressing a passive or stative sense: "he will be established" or "he will stand firm." "Firmly established" preserves the root idea of stability and fixedness while accurately reflecting the masculine singular subject and future/imperfect aspect. |
