SIBI-P1 Translation H3045-13
I will know
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root ידע, "to know" or "to perceive." The imperfect 1st person singular form denotes incomplete or future action, hence "I will know" as a straightforward root-faithful rendering. |
