SIBI-P1 Translation H7462-46
he will shepherd them
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of tending or shepherding. The imperfect 3ms with 3mp suffix yields "he will shepherd them," preserving both the shepherding imagery of the root and the masculine singular subject acting upon a masculine plural object. |
