and he was cut off
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem here functions in a simple/intransitive sense, expressing the subject undergoing the act of cutting. The sequential imperfect (3ms) is rendered with "and he was cut off," preserving both the narrative sequence and the root idea of removal by cutting. |
