and it shall be forgiven
To forgive, specifically indicating the act of pardoning or remitting wrongdoing, injury, or guilt, almost exclusively with reference to divine forgiveness as an act of mercy or grace. The verb denotes lifting or removal of liability for offense but does not erase all consequences. It is primarily used to describe YHWH's pardoning of individual or collective transgressions, rarely if ever ascribed to human action in the Hebrew Bible.

and he shall be pardoned
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive), sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
