SIBI-P1 H4376-05
he sold himself over
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hitpael stem (reflexive), perfect aspect, 3rd person masculine singular. The Hitpael form הִתְמַכֵּר indicates reflexive action—placing oneself into the state of being sold. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מכר carries the core idea of selling or transferring ownership. In the Hitpael stem (reflexive) perfect 3rd masculine singular (HVtp3ms), the action turns back upon the subject, yielding "he sold himself." The addition of "over" preserves the sense of surrender or transfer inherent in the root. |
