SIBI-P1 H3988-10
he spurned them
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular (מָאַס) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-ם), functioning as the direct object: "them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root מאס, "to spurn" or "reject." The perfect 3rd masculine singular form with a 3rd masculine plural suffix yields "he spurned them," preserving both the verbal action and the plural object indicated in the morphology. |
