SIBI-P1 Translation H7069-01
I will acquire
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect first person singular expresses a simple, active action by the speaker: "I will acquire" (or "I acquire"). "Acquire" preserves the root’s central sense of obtaining or gaining possession without narrowing it to purchase alone. |
