SIBI-P1 `H8354-51`

they will drink

Root	שתה (sh-t-h)
Core Meanings	to drink, imbibe, partake of a liquid, absorb
Semantic Range	to drink water or wine; to imbibe deeply; to partake in a feast; figuratively to experience or absorb (e.g., wrath, suffering).
Conceptual Significance	Drinking in the Hebrew Bible signifies both sustenance and celebration (as in covenantal meals) and, figuratively, participation in divine blessing or judgment (e.g., drinking the cup of wrath), marking experiential involvement in what God gives.
Morphological Notes	Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural (HVqi3mp) from שָׁתָה; simple active stem, incomplete aspect, no pronominal suffix.
Rendering Rationale	The verb is Qal imperfect third masculine plural, indicating a simple active action performed by "they" (masculine plural) with incomplete or future aspect. "They will drink" preserves the straightforward sense of the root שתה (to imbibe) while accurately reflecting the person, number, and stem.
