and he crushed
| Root | חשל (ḥ-š-l) |
| Core Meanings | weakening, crushing, subduing, bringing low |
| Semantic Range | to weaken, to crush, to subdue, to bring low, to overpower |
| Conceptual Significance | This term expresses decisive subjugation—reducing strength and bringing an opponent low. In biblical context, such language often depicts the humbling of hostile powers under divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb (AC), Qal stem, perfect aspect, 3rd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חשל conveys the idea of weakening or crushing down. The form is an Aramaic Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular with a prefixed conjunction, so "and he crushed" preserves both the simple active stem and the masculine singular subject indicated by the morphology. |
