nûwç
that he might flee
to flee, escape, run away; in causative forms, to put to flight, cause to flee, drive away. Used both of physical running away from danger or threat and, at times, metaphorically (e.g., fleeing from anger, judgment, or terror). In the Hiphil stem, the root can denote causing others to flee (to rout, expel, banish, or deliver from pursuit). Less commonly, it can describe vanishing, departing, subsiding (especially of fear or wrath).

and he fled
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential (wayyiqtol) 3rd person masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ; simple active action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense "to flee/escape." As a 3rd person masculine singular sequential form with prefixed וְ, it is rendered "and he fled," preserving both person/gender and the narrative sequence force. |
