SIBI-P1 Translation H6845-07
you will hide them
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular, with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root צפן, "to hide or conceal." The imperfect 2ms with a 3mp suffix yields "you will hide them," preserving both the action and the masculine plural object. |
