he will find
| Root | מצא (m-ṣ-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | finding, attaining, encountering, coming upon, discovering, being present |
| Semantic Range | to find, discover, encounter, attain, obtain, meet with, experience, prove sufficient, be present or available |
| Conceptual Significance | מצא is a foundational biblical verb describing human and divine encounters—finding favor, wisdom, life, or judgment. It often marks moments of providence or moral consequence, where what one "finds" reflects covenant faithfulness, divine will, or the outworking of one’s path. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem (simple active); imperfect (yiqtol) aspect; 3rd person masculine singular. No pronominal suffix. Expresses future, habitual, or modal action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מצא conveys the act of coming upon, discovering, or encountering something. The form יִמְצָא is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple active action performed by "he" in incomplete or future aspect; thus "he will find" preserves both the core sense of encountering/attaining and the masculine singular subject. |
