SIBI-P1 H3557-22
he will sustain
| Morphological Notes | Piel imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular from כול; the doubled middle consonant reflects the intensive Piel stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כול conveys the idea of holding in, containing, or maintaining. In the Piel stem, it takes on an intensive or causative nuance of actively sustaining or providing for. The form is 3rd person masculine singular imperfect, hence "he will sustain," preserving both the root sense of maintaining and the grammatical details. |
