SIBI-P1 H3947-118

he takes

Morphological NotesQal stem (simple active), imperfect (yiqtol) conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. The form יִקַּח shows dagesh forte in ק due to assimilation in the prefixed conjugation.
Rendering RationaleThe root לקח fundamentally denotes taking, grasping, or receiving. In the Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular (HVqi3ms), the form expresses a simple active action performed by "he," often with future, habitual, or narrative sense. "He takes" preserves both the core root meaning and the third masculine singular verbal form.
