SIBI-P1 Translation H6485-78
and he attended to
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of the root פקד, meaning to attend to or take account of. The sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive) 3ms form conveys a past narrative action, hence "and he attended to." |
