SIBI-P1 Translation H5774-15
and he flew
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
