SIBI-P1 Translation H2865-19
they will be shattered
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal (passive/reflexive), imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense, so the action of shattering falls upon the subject. The imperfect 3rd masculine plural form indicates 'they will be,' preserving both passive voice and plural number while maintaining the root idea of being broken or shattered in spirit. |
