SIBI-P1 H6912-37
and they interred him
| Root | קבר (q-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | to bury, inter, lay in a grave, place in the earth |
| Semantic Range | to bury a corpse, to inter formally, to place in a grave or tomb, to conceal in the earth; by extension, to consign or remove from sight. |
| Conceptual Significance | Burial in the Hebrew Bible signifies honor, familial duty, and covenantal continuity with one’s ancestors. Proper interment reflects respect for the dead and hope tied to ancestral land and identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Qal wayyiqtol (preterite) 3rd masculine plural of קבר, with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("him"). Narrative sequential form typical of Hebrew prose. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal wayyiqtol form expresses a simple past narrative action performed by a third masculine plural subject ("they"). The attached 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("him") is preserved as the direct object. "Interred" reflects the core sense of קבר as placing a body into the earth or grave. |
