will-guide-them
To guide, lead, or conduct someone or something, typically along a path or toward a destination. The term often implies intentional direction by a person or divine agent, and can be used both literally (leading along a physical path) or metaphorically (guiding morally, spiritually, or in judgment). In some contexts, especially in the exilic or post-exilic periods, it may also carry the sense of transporting or bringing someone, particularly with reference to deportation or forced movement.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5148-12
you will guide them
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses active, intentional guidance, and the imperfect 2ms form with 3mp suffix indicates "you" (masculine singular) directing "them" (masculine plural). The rendering preserves both the guiding nuance of the root and the full pronominal morphology. |
