SIBI-P1 H8631-04
and he grew strong
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb in the Peal (Qal) stem; perfect (suffix conjugation) 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וּ ('and'). The stem here is intransitive, expressing becoming strong rather than causing strength. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root תקף conveys the idea of becoming firm, strong, or forceful. In the Peal (Qal) perfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וּ, the form describes a completed action by a masculine singular subject, hence "and he grew strong," preserving both the root sense of strengthening and the grammatical person, gender, and number. |
