SIBI-P1 Translation H3847-56
they will clothe themselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd person masculine plural denotes a simple active action performed by them in future or incomplete aspect. Since לבש in Qal commonly means to put on clothing (reflexively in sense), "they will clothe themselves" preserves both the root sense of enveloping and the plural masculine morphology. |
