SIBI-P1 Translation H5774-15

and he flew

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to fly, move with wings." The sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) with 3rd masculine singular is reflected by "and he flew," maintaining both the narrative sequence and masculine singular subject.
