SIBI-P1 Translation H7592-57
he will ask
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense of the root שאל, "to ask/inquire." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he will ask," preserving both the basic verbal force and the masculine singular morphology. |
