SIBI-P1 H8631-04

and he grew strong

Morphological NotesAramaic 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 RationaleThe 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.
