SIBI-P1 H1961-26

becoming

Morphological NotesHiphil (HV) participle, common gender (qc), masculine plural form of the root היה (hayah); vocalized as הֱיוֹת with shewa under ה and holem under י, used nominally as an infinitive construct-like form meaning 'being' or 'becoming'.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the root's core sense of dynamic existence and transformation ('to be or become') as seen in the Hiphil participle form, which carries a causative nuance of 'causing to become'; it reflects the morphology as a masculine plural participle (HVqc), commonly rendered in English as a neutral gerund 'becoming' to match the common translation 'being' while emphasizing the emphatic, non-copulative nature of the verb.
