he will engulf them
| Morphological Notes | Piel imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root בלע, conveying active and forceful engulfing or consuming. The imperfect 3ms with 3mp suffix is reflected in "he will engulf them," preserving both the subject and plural object. |
