SIBI-P1 H4487-07
he was appointed
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew verb from מנה in the passive stem (likely Hophal or passive perfect form), 3rd person masculine singular. Indicates a completed action done to the subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מנה conveys counting, allotting, or appointing. The morphology (Hebrew verb, passive perfect, 3rd masculine singular) requires a passive rendering in the singular masculine form, hence "he was appointed," preserving both the passive stem and the sense of being officially assigned or numbered. |
