SIBI-P1 Translation H5375-138
they will lift up
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural denotes a simple active action performed by "they" in an incomplete or future sense. "They will lift up" preserves the core physical sense of the root נשׂא while allowing its broader metaphorical extensions. |
