To build, to construct, especially in relation to physical structures or settlements; by extension, to establish or found (such as a house, dynasty, city, or altar). Figuratively, to establish or produce offspring, particularly sons (with emphasis on founding a family line or household). The word can also denote repairing or restoring what has been broken or ruined, as well as setting up, making ready, or preparing something for use. The notion of building is often employed idiomatically in relational or social contexts, such as 'building a house' referring to establishing a household or lineage.

you will build
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 2nd person masculine plural form expresses a simple, active action performed by "you" (masculine plural). "You will build" preserves the root sense of constructing or establishing and reflects the imperfect aspect as incomplete or future-oriented action. |
