he comes

Rootבוא (b-w-ʾ)
Core Meaningsto go, to come, to enter, to approach, to arrive, to occur, to happen
Semantic RangeThe root בוא encompasses motion toward a destination (come, go, enter, approach), arrival and presence (arrive, be present), occurrence and causation (happen, occur, befall, come to pass), and figurative applications (attain, apply, resort). Context determines whether the sense is literal physical movement or abstract/metaphorical occurrence.
Conceptual SignificanceThe verb בוא is fundamental to biblical narrative, expressing both literal journeys (Israel's entry into Canaan, pilgrimages to the Temple) and theological concepts (God's coming in judgment or salvation, the coming of the Messiah). It appears across all genres of Scripture and carries weight in covenantal language, eschatological expectation, and descriptions of divine-human encounter.
Morphological NotesHVqi3ms represents Hiphil imperfect 3ms, though the actual form יָבוֹא/יָבֹא is Qal imperfect 3ms (yiqtol). The word occurs 158 times in biblical text with various vocalizations. Strong's H935 identifies this as a primitive root with extensive semantic range across multiple stems and applications.
Rendering RationaleThe morphology HVqi3ms indicates a Hiphil imperfect third masculine singular form. However, the surface forms and lexical data show this is actually a Qal imperfect third masculine singular (yiqtol form), meaning 'he will come' or 'he comes.' The rendering preserves the simple action of coming/going while reflecting the third person masculine singular subject without object or directional specification.
