SIBI-P1 Translation H2891-48
he will be pure
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple/stative), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple state or becoming of purity rather than causing it. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular is rendered as "he will be pure," preserving both the stative sense of the root and the masculine singular morphology. |
