SIBI-P1 H5774-14
and he grew faint
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction waw + Qal wayyiqtol (converted imperfect) 3rd masculine singular from עוּף; sequential narrative past action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a waw-consecutive Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, narrating a past action: "and he…". The root עוף conveys flying or dimming, and by extension the darkening weakness of faintness; thus "and he grew faint" preserves both the verbal force and the semantic link to loss of strength. |
