SIBI-P1 Translation H539-40
and he was upheld
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem expresses a passive or stative sense of the root אמן, conveying being supported or made firm. As 3rd masculine singular sequential perfect, it is rendered as a completed passive action: "and he was upheld," preserving both the passive stem and singular masculine form. |
