SIBI-P1 `H7857-11`

and he surged-flooded

Root	שטף (š-ṭ-p̄)
Core Meanings	gushing, flooding, inundating, overwhelming surge
Semantic Range	to gush, flood, inundate, overflow, wash away, overwhelm, sweep through, conquer by force
Conceptual Significance	Often used metaphorically for invading armies or divine judgment, the verb evokes the image of unstoppable force. It conveys the overwhelming power of water as a symbol of destruction, cleansing, or conquest in biblical narrative and prophecy.
Morphological Notes	Verb, Qal stem, waw-consecutive (vav-conversive) with 3rd masculine singular perfect form (HC/Vqq3ms). The prefixed וְ functions narratively as "and," advancing past action in sequence.
Rendering Rationale	The root שטף conveys the force of gushing or flooding that overwhelms what stands before it. Rendered as "and he surged-flooded," the translation preserves the vivid sense of an overpowering rush while reflecting the Qal stem (simple active) and the 3rd masculine singular form with prefixed conjunction ("and he").
