SIBI-P1 Translation H8086-06
they will heed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hithpaal stem (reflexive/passive), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שׁמע denotes active hearing that leads to attentiveness or obedience. The Hithpaal imperfect 3rd masculine plural form conveys a reflexive or engaged action in future aspect, thus "they will heed," reflecting responsive listening rather than mere auditory perception. |
