he cut

Morphological NotesQal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. Active simple stem indicating a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action performed by "he." Rendering it as "he cut" preserves the concrete root sense of physical cutting, which underlies extended meanings such as cutting off, destroying, or cutting a covenant, while accurately reflecting the masculine singular subject and completed aspect.
