SIBI-P1 H6279-05
and he made intercession
| Morphological Notes | Verb in Qal stem, wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular; narrative past sequence, active voice. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root עתר is associated with incense and the act of earnest supplication rising like fragrant smoke, hence "intercession." The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, so "and he made intercession" preserves the narrative past sense ("and he…") and the masculine singular subject. |
