SIBI-P1 H3384-38

he shot forth

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, perfect (completed action), 3rd person masculine singular. Simple active voice indicating that he performed the act of shooting or casting.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action performed by a single male subject: "he shot." The addition of "forth" preserves the root sense of projecting or casting outward, which underlies both literal shooting and the figurative sense of directing or instructing.
