SIBI-P1 H6680-47
and he charged
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Piel wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular of צוה. The Piel stem conveys an intensive or authoritative act of commanding or commissioning. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root צוה in the Piel stem, which intensifies the act of commanding into a formal charge or commissioning. The form is waw-consecutive imperfect, 3rd masculine singular, hence "and he charged," preserving both the narrative sequence and the masculine singular subject. |
