we will stretch out
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 1st person common plural; simple active stem expressing ongoing or future action by "we." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect first person plural form denotes an incomplete or future action performed by "we." "Stretch out" preserves the root’s primary physical sense of extension while allowing for its broader metaphorical uses of inclining or turning. |
