SIBI-P1 Translation H3045-173
he will be known
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Niphal stem (passive/reflexive); imperfect; 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense of the root ידע, meaning "to be known" or "to become known." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses a future or incomplete action, hence "he will be known." |
