he relented

Morphological Notes	Niphal stem (reflexive/passive), perfect 3rd person masculine singular; some occurrences may function as Niphal participle masculine singular depending on pointing, but the predominant form here is Niphal perfect 3ms.
Rendering Rationale	The form reflects the Niphal stem, perfect 3rd person masculine singular, indicating a completed reflexive or passive action. "He relented" preserves the reflexive nuance of נָחַם in Niphal—an inward turning marked by deep feeling—while accurately reflecting the masculine singular subject and completed aspect.
