you will learn
| Root | אלף (ʾ-l-p̄) |
| Core Meanings | association, familiarity, learning, training, accustoming |
| Semantic Range | to associate with, become familiar with, learn, be trained, teach (in extended or causative stems), utter or articulate (by learned speech) |
| Conceptual Significance | The root אלף highlights learning as a process of close association and habituation, reflecting the biblical view that knowledge—especially covenantal or moral knowledge—is acquired through relational attachment and disciplined instruction. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular; simple active voice indicating an incomplete or future action directed to a male individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of the root אלף, whose core idea is becoming familiar or associated with something, hence learning. The imperfect second masculine singular form indicates a future or incomplete action addressed to one male individual, rendered in English as "you will learn." |
