SIBI-P1 Translation H3782-34

they will stumble

Morphological NotesVerb, Niphal stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe Niphal imperfect 3rd masculine plural conveys a simple passive/reflexive future sense: "they will stumble" or "they will falter." This rendering preserves the root idea of losing steadiness while reflecting the third person masculine plural imperfect form.
