SIBI-P1 H1197-36
and he kindled
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect), 3rd person masculine singular (HC/Vhw3ms). The prefixed waw marks sequential narrative action: “and he …”. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root בער, whose core sense is burning or consuming by fire. In the Qal stem with waw-consecutive (3rd person masculine singular), it denotes a simple active action in past narrative sequence: “and he kindled” or “and he burned.” The rendering preserves the masculine singular subject and reflects the root’s primary sense of initiating or causing burning without shifting to a causative stem nuance. |
