he drank
| Root | שתה (sh-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | drinking, imbibing, absorbing, taking in |
| Semantic Range | to drink liquid, to imbibe wine or water, to drink deeply, to participate in a feast or banquet, figuratively to absorb or experience (e.g., wrath or suffering) |
| Conceptual Significance | Drinking in the Hebrew Bible is often associated with covenant meals, hospitality, celebration, or judgment (such as drinking the cup of wrath). The act can signify fellowship and blessing or, figuratively, the internalization of divine judgment or experience. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem (simple active); perfect aspect; 3rd person masculine singular. The form שָׁתֹה is an orthographic variant of שָׁתָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect third masculine singular, indicating a completed action performed by a male subject: "he drank." The rendering preserves the core root sense of imbibing or taking in liquid, without adding interpretation beyond the simple active stem (Qal). |
