SIBI-P1 Translation H7122-20
he encounters
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular verb. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root "to encounter/meet." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered "he encounters," preserving both the verbal action and masculine singular subject without adding contextual nuance. |
