SIBI-P1 Translation H7456-11
he will hunger
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple state of experiencing hunger. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form conveys an incomplete or future action, hence "he will hunger," preserving both root meaning and morphology. |
