you will hide yourself
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (reflexive/passive), imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal imperfect 2ms of חבא conveys a reflexive or passive sense; given the root’s primary reflexive usage, "you will hide yourself" preserves both the self-concealing nuance and the masculine singular form. |
