SIBI-P1 H5117-04

she will settle down into rest

Rootנוח (n-w-ḥ)
Core Meaningsrest, settling, repose, quietness, abiding stability
Semantic Rangeto rest, settle down, come to repose, remain, dwell, be quiet, find relief, come to stability
Conceptual SignificanceThe root נוח often marks covenantal or divine rest—whether the land resting, the Spirit resting upon someone, or a people finding settled security. It conveys not mere inactivity but a state of established peace, stability, and divinely granted repose.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd feminine singular of נוח. The Qal stem expresses the basic intransitive sense "to rest" or "to settle." The imperfect form conveys incomplete, ongoing, or future action.
Rendering RationaleThe form תָנ֥וּחַ/תָּנ֣וּחַ is Qal imperfect 3rd feminine singular from נוח, indicating simple active action performed by a feminine singular subject. "She will settle down into rest" preserves the core idea of settling or coming to repose while clearly reflecting the feminine singular and the imperfect (incomplete/future) aspect.
