SIBI-P1 H2729-08
and he shuddered in dread
| Morphological Notes | Verb in Qal stem, wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular; narrative past sequence, "and he…". |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal wayyiqtol 3ms form denotes a simple past narrative action performed by a masculine singular subject, hence "and he…". "Shuddered in dread" preserves the root sense of physical trembling arising from terror or anxiety, reflecting the visceral force of חָרַד rather than a milder "feared." |
