SIBI-P1 Translation H7126-74
he will draw near
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple action of approaching rather than causative bringing near. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form conveys an incomplete or future-oriented action, hence "he will draw near." |
