SIBI-P1 H7121-91
he will be called
| Root | קרא (q-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | calling, summoning, naming, proclaiming, reading aloud |
| Semantic Range | to be called, be named, be summoned, be proclaimed, be designated, be publicly announced |
| Conceptual Significance | In 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 Notes | Verb; Niphal stem (passive/reflexive); imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. The doubled middle radical reflects Niphal formation with dagesh forte. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
