he will send forth
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3ms form expresses a simple active action by a masculine singular subject. "He will send forth" preserves the core idea of deliberate dispatch or extension inherent in the root שלח while reflecting the imperfect aspect. |
