and he will alter

Rootשנה (sh-n-h)
Core Meaningschange, repeat, double, alter, transform
Semantic Rangeto change, alter, repeat, do again, double, transform, pervert, disguise, act differently
Conceptual SignificanceThe verb often marks transformation or deviation—whether neutral repetition or moral alteration. In theological contexts, it can signal either rightful change (renewal, repetition) or wrongful distortion (perversion), highlighting the weight of deviation from what is established.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + Qal imperfect verb, 3rd masculine singular (HC/Vpi3ms). The imperfect denotes incomplete or future action; subject is masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe root שנה carries the core idea of changing, doubling, or repeating. In the Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction (וְ), the form expresses a future or incomplete action performed by "he," hence "and he will alter," preserving both the verbal aspect and masculine singular subject.
