he measured him
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3ms form denotes a completed simple action, and the 3ms pronominal suffix specifies a masculine singular object, yielding "he measured him." The rendering preserves the core sense of measuring by extension inherent in the root מדד. |
