SIBI-P1 Translation H6770-08
they will thirst
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural form expresses a simple future or incomplete action: "they will thirst." This preserves the primary root sense of experiencing thirst, without importing contextual metaphorical meaning. |
