SIBI-P1 H2931-16
and he became unclean
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ plus Qal perfect (qatal) 3rd masculine singular of טָמֵא; sequential narrative form indicating completed action: "and he became unclean." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root טמא conveys becoming or being defiled or contaminated, especially in a ritual or moral sense. The form is Qal 3rd person masculine singular with prefixed conjunction, so "and he became unclean" preserves the stative/inchoative force of the Qal stem and accurately reflects the masculine singular subject. |
