and I cast myself down

Morphological NotesVerb from נפל in Hitpael stem, waw-consecutive imperfect (converted to past narrative), 1st common singular; reflexive action following conjunction ו (“and”).
Rendering RationaleThe root נפל conveys the act of falling or being cast down. This form is Hitpael (reflexive) with waw-consecutive, first common singular, indicating a completed past action: "and I cast myself down." The reflexive nuance preserves the stem’s force, showing that the subject deliberately threw himself down rather than merely falling passively.
