SIBI-P1 H7127-03
he drew near
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Qal (simple active) stem, perfect tense, 3rd person masculine singular. Cognate with Hebrew קָרַב. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קרב conveys the idea of nearness or approaching. As an Aramaic Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form, it denotes a completed action performed by a male subject, hence "he drew near," preserving both the core sense of approaching and the masculine singular morphology. |
