SIBI-P1 Translation H6485-96
they will be attended to
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense of the root פקד, meaning "to attend to" or "to take account of." The imperfect 3rd masculine plural form indicates a future or incomplete action affecting "them," thus "they will be attended to," preserving the root’s core idea of oversight or reckoning without specifying context. |
