she will guard them
| Root | שמר (š-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | to hedge about, guard, keep, watch, preserve, observe |
| Semantic Range | to guard, keep, watch over, preserve, observe, heed, maintain, protect, attend carefully to |
| Conceptual Significance | שׁמר is a covenantal term often used of guarding commandments, keeping covenant obligations, or divine protection. It conveys attentive care and vigilant preservation, whether by humans toward divine instruction or by God toward His people. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3fs with 3mp pronominal suffix; denotes an incomplete or future action by a feminine singular subject directed toward a masculine plural object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal imperfect 3rd feminine singular with a 3rd masculine plural suffix, indicating a future or incomplete action performed by a feminine singular subject upon "them." "She will guard them" preserves the core idea of שׁמר as hedging about or keeping under watch, while accurately reflecting the feminine subject and masculine plural object. |
