SIBI-P1 Translation H3423-78
he will be dispossessed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem gives a passive/reflexive sense of the root ירשׁ, indicating that the subject undergoes dispossession rather than actively taking possession. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular is rendered as a future-oriented action, preserving both voice and morphology. |
