SIBI-P1 H3920-43
they will seize him
| Root | לכד (l-k-d) |
| Core Meanings | to seize, capture, ensnare, take hold, occupy |
| Semantic Range | to capture in battle, seize a city, ensnare in a trap, take hold of a person, occupy territory, apprehend |
| Conceptual Significance | לכד frequently appears in military and judicial contexts, highlighting themes of conquest, judgment, and divine or human agency in subduing enemies; it underscores the vulnerability of the one seized and the decisive power of the captor. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine plural verb with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix; denotes incomplete or future action performed by "they" upon "him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root לכד conveys the act of seizing or capturing, often by force or entrapment. The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix is reflected in "they will seize him," preserving both the active sense of the root and the plural subject with singular masculine object. |
