SIBI-P1 Translation H3427-114
and they will dwell
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine plural, with prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense of the root י-ש-ב, "to sit" in the extended sense of settling or dwelling. The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form is reflected by "they will dwell," with the prefixed conjunction rendered as "and." |
