and he was-melted-away

Morphological NotesVerb from מסס in the Nifal stem, perfect (suffix) conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ ('and'). The Nifal stem here expresses a passive or intransitive/reflexive sense.
Rendering RationaleThe root מסס conveys the idea of melting or dissolving, both physically and figuratively (as in loss of courage). The form is Nifal perfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ, indicating a passive or reflexive sense: "and he was melted" or "and he melted away," preserving both the root imagery and the masculine singular subject.
