SIBI-P1 H3559-73
and they will be made firm
| Root | כון (k-w-n) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, stability, establishment, preparation, readiness |
| Semantic Range | to be established, to be made firm, to be fixed in place, to be prepared, to be set securely, to be confirmed or rendered stable |
| Conceptual Significance | The root כון often expresses the idea of divine establishment—whether of kingdoms, plans, hearts, or creation itself. It conveys not merely physical stability but covenantal and theological assurance: what YHWH establishes stands firm, secure, and properly ordered. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + Niphal imperfect verb, 3rd masculine plural from כון. The Niphal stem gives a passive/reflexive nuance ("be made firm, be established"). Imperfect form indicates incomplete/future action: "they will be made firm." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כון conveys the idea of firmness, stability, and being set in place. In the Niphal stem (imperfect, 3rd masculine plural), the verb carries a passive or reflexive sense, "they will be established" or "they will be made firm." The rendering preserves the core concept of being set securely while accurately reflecting the plural subject and future aspect introduced by the imperfect with conjunction. |
