SIBI-P1 Translation H398-148
and they will eat
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd person masculine plural denotes a simple future or incomplete action, here rendered as "they will eat." The prefixed conjunction וְ is preserved as "and," and the core sense of אכל as literal or figurative consumption is maintained. |
