SIBI-P1 H7931-51
they will dwell
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd person masculine plural of שָׁכַן. The imperfect form conveys incomplete, habitual, or future action: “they dwell” or “they will dwell.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural form expresses a simple, active action performed by “they” (masculine plural): "they will dwell" or "they dwell." The rendering preserves the core idea of settled, ongoing residence inherent in שָׁכַן, reflecting both the verbal stem (simple active) and the plural subject. |
