SIBI-P1 H3513-38

a weighty (honored) man

Morphological NotesNifal participle masculine singular absolute (נִכְבָּד), from the root כבד. The Nifal stem expresses a passive or stative sense: "to be heavy, to be honored." Form can also function adjectivally.
Rendering RationaleThe Nifal stem conveys a passive or stative sense—"to be made heavy" or "to be weighty." As a masculine singular form, it describes one who is weighty in status or significance, hence "honored." The rendering preserves the root idea of heaviness while reflecting masculine singular grammar.
