SIBI-P1 H5254-09

he took flight

Rootנוס (n-w-s)
Core Meaningsto flee, take flight, escape, vanish away, put to flight
Semantic Rangeto flee from danger, escape from pursuit, vanish away, retreat, be driven off; in causative stems, to cause to flee or put to flight.
Conceptual SignificanceThis root frequently marks moments of fear, deliverance, or divine intervention—whether humans fleeing danger or enemies being put to flight by YHWH. It underscores the fragility of human strength and the decisive reversal brought about by divine action.
Morphological NotesVerb; Qal stem; perfect (qatal) aspect; 3rd person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple action of the root נוס, meaning to flee or take flight. As a perfect 3rd masculine singular form, it is rendered "he took flight," preserving both the completed action and the masculine singular subject.
