he acquired
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense of the root קנה, meaning to acquire or obtain. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he acquired," preserving both the completed aspect and masculine singular subject. |
