you (masculine plural) will abandon

Rootעזב (ʿ-z-b)
Core Meaningsloosen, leave, relinquish, abandon, forsake
Semantic Rangeto leave behind, forsake, abandon, neglect, let go, permit, leave destitute
Conceptual Significanceעָזַב often carries covenantal weight, describing the abandonment of YHWH, His Torah, or covenant obligations. It can also denote social or familial neglect, highlighting themes of loyalty, faithfulness, and the consequences of turning away.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural (HVqj2mp). No pronominal suffix. The imperfect may denote future, habitual, or modal action depending on context.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root עזב, meaning to loosen or relinquish, hence "to abandon" or "to leave." The imperfect 2nd masculine plural form is reflected by "you (masculine plural) will," preserving both number and gender while conveying the forward-looking or modal sense of the imperfect.
