SIBI-P1 Translation H2372-14

you will behold

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal imperfect 2ms form conveys a simple, active, incomplete action addressed to a masculine singular subject—"you will behold." "Behold" preserves the root’s nuance of vivid, attentive, or visionary seeing rather than ordinary sight.
