he will be called

Rootקרא (q-r-ʾ)
Core Meaningscalling, summoning, naming, proclaiming, reading aloud
Semantic Rangeto be called, be named, be summoned, be proclaimed, be designated, be publicly announced
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, being “called” often conveys identity, destiny, or divine purpose. A name bestowed or proclaimed establishes role, character, and covenant standing, highlighting the theological weight of naming and divine designation.
Morphological NotesVerb; Niphal stem (passive/reflexive); imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. The doubled middle radical reflects Niphal formation with dagesh forte.
Rendering RationaleThe Niphal stem expresses a passive sense of the root קרא (“to call, name, proclaim”). As a 3rd masculine singular imperfect, יִקָּרֵא is faithfully rendered “he will be called,” preserving both the passive voice and singular masculine subject implied in the morphology.
