SIBI-P1 H2654-05
he delights
| Morphological Notes | Qal verb, perfect (qatal) 3rd masculine singular; stative in sense, often expressing an abiding disposition of delight or desire. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses a completed or stative action: "he has delighted" or "he delights." Because the root conveys the idea of inward inclination or favorable pleasure, "he delights" preserves both the core sense of inclined pleasure and the masculine singular subject indicated by the morphology. |
