SIBI-P1 H5221-78
and he struck down
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil stem; waw-consecutive (vav conversive) converting imperfect to past narrative; 3rd person masculine singular. The Hiphil of נכה commonly functions as an active/causative "to strike, smite, strike down." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נכה conveys the act of striking or smiting, often with harmful or lethal effect. The form is Hiphil waw-consecutive 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed past action by a male subject in narrative sequence, hence "and he struck down," preserving both the causative nuance of Hiphil and the masculine singular subject. |
