they will be
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Peal stem (simple active), imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form expresses simple future or incomplete action from the root הוה, meaning "to be" or "to become." "They will be" preserves both the existential core and the plural masculine morphology. |
