they will rise
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of rising or standing up. The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form is reflected by "they will," maintaining both plurality and verbal aspect without adding contextual nuance. |
