he bolted away
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. Simple active voice indicating a completed action: "he fled/bolted." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ברח conveys the idea of sudden flight or bolting. Rendering it as "he bolted away" preserves the vivid, abrupt sense of escape inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form: a completed action performed by "he." |
