and we will become
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 1st person common plural, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 1st person common plural expresses a simple future or unfolding state of being for "we." "Become" preserves the root’s dynamic sense of coming into a state of existence, and the prefixed conjunction is reflected by "and." |
