SIBI-P1 H2603-11

he will be granted favor

Rootחנן (ḥ-n-n)
Core Meaningsto bend in kindness, show favor, grant grace, extend mercy, bestow compassionate favor
Semantic Rangeto be shown grace, to be granted favor, to receive mercy, to be treated kindly or compassionately
Conceptual Significanceחנן is central to biblical theology of grace, often describing YHWH’s gracious inclination toward the undeserving. In this passive form, it highlights the recipient’s dependence on divine mercy rather than personal merit.
Morphological NotesHophal imperfect, 3rd masculine singular of חנן. The Hophal stem expresses passive causative action: "to be caused to receive favor."
Rendering RationaleThe form יֻחַן is Hophal imperfect, 3rd masculine singular, expressing the passive of the causative stem. Thus it conveys that "he" (masculine singular) will be caused to receive favor—i.e., will be granted favor—preserving both the passive causative nuance and the core idea of חנן as the bending of kindness toward someone.
