SIBI-P1 H309-01
being delayed (he)
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew 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 Rationale | The 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." |
