SIBI-P1 H1129-01

he built

Morphological NotesQal (simple active) verb, perfect (completed action), 3rd person masculine singular. From the primitive root בנה (b-n-h).
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple, active action of constructing or establishing. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates a completed action performed by a male subject, hence "he built," which preserves both the root meaning of construction/establishment and the grammatical features of the form.
