SIBI-P1 Translation H398-73
she will be consumed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive), imperfect, 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive sense, so the root idea of eating/consuming becomes "be consumed." The imperfect 3rd feminine singular form is rendered as "she will be consumed," preserving both passive voice and feminine singular morphology. |
