SIBI-P1 Translation H4672-118
they will find me
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd person masculine plural expresses a simple active action in incomplete aspect, here rendered as future: "they will find." The 1st person common singular suffix "-ni" is preserved as "me," maintaining both subject plurality and object singularity. |
