SIBI-P1 Translation H6419-20
and he interceded himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hithpael (reflexive), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem expresses reflexive or self-involving action, so from the root פלל (‘to intervene, mediate, judge’), the form conveys that he engaged himself in intercessory mediation. The sequential imperfect 3ms with vav is reflected by “and he.” |
