SIBI-P1 Translation H4672-70
they will find
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person feminine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of the root מצא, "to find" or "come upon." The imperfect 3rd feminine plural form conveys an incomplete or future action performed by feminine plural subjects, hence "they will find." |
