SIBI-P1 H2729-08

and he shuddered in dread

Morphological NotesVerb in Qal stem, wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular; narrative past sequence, "and he…".
Rendering RationaleThe 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."
