SIBI-P1 H7737-08
you will be equal
| Root | שוה (sh-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | levelness, equality, likeness, equivalence, comparison, suitability |
| Semantic Range | to be equal, to be like, to resemble, to match, to correspond, to be comparable, to be suitable or fitting |
| Conceptual Significance | The root שוה expresses the concept of leveling or equivalence, often used in Scripture to question or deny comparison with YHWH or to describe moral or situational equivalence. It underscores themes of incomparability, justice, and proper proportion in covenantal and theological contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular (HVqi2ms). Simple active/intransitive stem expressing a future or incomplete action: "you will be / you shall be equal." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem of שוה carries the basic sense of being level or equal, and by extension resembling or matching. The imperfect 2nd masculine singular form תִּשְׁוֶה is therefore rendered "you will be equal," preserving both the core idea of equality/likeness and the masculine singular address indicated in the morphology. |
