SIBI-P1 H5060-16

he laid hand upon

Morphological NotesPrimarily Qal perfect 3ms (HVqp3ms) from the root נגע; also attested here as a masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa) meaning "touch" or "strike." The Qal stem conveys simple active contact, which context may intensify to striking or afflicting.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action by a masculine singular subject. "He laid hand upon" preserves the concrete root sense of physical contact (touching) while naturally extending to striking or afflicting, which are common contextual developments of נגע.
