I have killed
To kill or slay, specifically to take life through violent action; often refers to intentional or active killing, whether in a judicial, military, or criminal context. The term emphasizes the act of killing itself rather than the mode or justification, and can range from lawful executions to acts of violence in warfare or individual murders. It can also be used metaphorically for utter destruction or, less commonly, the killing of animals.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2026-13
I killed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect conjugation, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense of taking life, and the perfect 1st person singular form indicates a completed action performed by the speaker, hence "I killed." This preserves the root’s core meaning of violent life-taking without contextual expansion. |
