SIBI-P1 H4549-09
and he melted away
| Morphological Notes | Verb from מסס in the Qal stem, perfect 3rd masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ. The Qal expresses the simple or stative sense of becoming melted or dissolved. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form נָמָס is Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular from מסס, expressing a completed action: "he melted." The prefixed וְ is the conjunction "and." The rendering "and he melted away" preserves the singular masculine form and reflects the root idea of dissolving or losing firmness, whether physically or emotionally. |
