and he swallowed down
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). The Qal conveys simple active action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root בלע fundamentally denotes swallowing or engulfing, often extended metaphorically to destruction. The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates a completed action performed by a single male subject, hence "he swallowed down," with the prefixed conjunction וּ rendered as "and." |
