SIBI-P1 H8199-54
and he rendered judgment
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect), 3rd person masculine singular; narrative past sequence form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular form denotes a simple active past action in narrative sequence, hence "and he." "Rendered judgment" preserves the core judicial sense of שׁפט while allowing for its broader connotations of governing and administering justice. |
