SIBI-P1 H2015-35

and he was overturned

Morphological NotesVerb, Niphal stem, wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect), 3rd person masculine singular. The Niphal gives a passive/reflexive force: "was turned/overturned."
Rendering RationaleThe verb is from the root הפך, whose core sense is to turn or overturn. In the Niphal stem it carries a passive or reflexive nuance (“be turned/overturned”). The form is wayyiqtol, 3rd masculine singular, hence "and he was overturned," preserving both the passive sense and the masculine singular subject.
