SIBI-P1 H3615-70
and he brought to an end
| Morphological Notes | Primarily Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular from כָּלָה, indicating sequential past action: "and he finished/brought to completion." Also attested here as a feminine singular absolute noun (כָּלָה) meaning "full end, complete destruction." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal wayyiqtol 3ms form expresses a completed action in narrative sequence: "and he brought to an end." This rendering preserves the core root sense of bringing something to completion or consumption while accurately reflecting the third masculine singular verbal form. In nominal occurrences (feminine singular), the word denotes "a full end" or "a complete destruction," retaining the same root idea of total completion. |
