SIBI-P1 H5065-04
he drove hard
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. Simple active voice indicating a completed action by a male subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action performed by a single male subject: "he drove." The addition of "hard" reflects the root sense of forceful pressure or compulsion inherent in נגשׂ, preserving the idea of driving, exacting, or pressing upon others. |
