Morphological NotesHebrew verb, passive participle, masculine singular (3ms). The participial form expresses a continuous or resultant state: one who is in the condition of having been delayed.
Rendering RationaleThe root אחר conveys the idea of being behind or delayed. The form is a masculine singular passive participle, so the rendering reflects a state of having been delayed and preserves the masculine singular sense with "he."
