SIBI-P1 Translation H3334-05
he will be pressed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3ms form expresses a simple, intransitive future state. "He will be pressed" preserves the core root sense of constriction or narrowness while reflecting the masculine singular imperfect morphology. |
