SIBI-P1 Translation H977-01
he chose
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of selecting or preferring. The perfect 3rd person masculine singular is rendered as a completed action: "he chose," preserving both the root meaning and masculine singular subject. |
