SIBI-P1 H1254-01
he created
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. The Qal expresses the simple active voice; the perfect denotes a completed action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject, hence "he created." The rendering preserves the root sense of bringing something into being or shaping it decisively, which is central to ברא in the Qal stem. |
