SIBI-P1 Translation H5965-03
he will leap for joy
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3ms form expresses a simple, active future action performed by a masculine singular subject. "He will leap for joy" preserves the root’s vivid sense of demonstrative, bodily exultation rather than a subdued internal rejoicing. |
