SIBI-P1 Translation H4390-63
and he was filled
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense, "to be filled" or "to become full." The sequential imperfect with waw marks narrative progression, hence "and he was filled," preserving both the passive voice and 3rd masculine singular form. |
