SIBI-P1 Translation H5608-58
he will count
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple action of the root ספר, whose core sense is to count or enumerate. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he will count," preserving both person, gender, number, and the basic verbal force. |
