SIBI-P1 Translation H7891-30
he will sing
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple verbal action of vocal musical expression. The imperfect 3rd person masculine singular form is best rendered as "he will sing," preserving both the straightforward action and the masculine singular subject. |
