SIBI-P1 Translation H3427-67
you (masc. pl.) will dwell
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 2nd masculine plural form conveys a simple, active action by a group of males: ‘you will dwell’ or ‘you will sit/reside.’ ‘Dwell’ best captures the root’s extended sense of settled residence while preserving the forward-looking imperfect aspect. |
