SIBI-P1 H5117-10

he will settle down

Rootנוח (n-w-ḥ)
Core Meaningsrest, settle, repose, come to rest, remain, dwell quietly
Semantic Rangeto rest physically, to settle in a place, to come to repose, to remain, to abide, to be at ease, to rest upon (of spirit or presence)
Conceptual Significanceנוּחַ often marks the transition from movement to settled stability—whether physical rest, covenantal dwelling in the land, or the Spirit resting upon a person. It conveys the idea of divinely granted repose and established presence, a key theme in Israel’s hope for secure dwelling and peace.
Morphological NotesVerb; Qal stem; imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from נוּחַ. The form expresses incomplete or future action by a masculine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem conveys the simple, intransitive action of coming to rest or settling. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is reflected by "he will," preserving both the future/incomplete aspect and the masculine singular subject inherent in the morphology.
