he created her
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3ms form denotes a completed act of creating by a masculine singular subject, and the 3fs suffix marks a feminine singular object (“her”). The rendering preserves the root’s specialized sense of bringing into existence by decisive act. |
