SIBI-P1 Translation H3423-71
he will take possession
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root ירשׁ: to take possession, often by displacing another. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as a future-like action, "he will take possession," preserving both person and number. |
