SIBI-P1 Translation H3190-40
he will make good
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, shifting from "to be good" to "to make good" or "cause to be good." The imperfect 3ms form indicates a future or ongoing action by a masculine singular subject, hence "he will make good." |
