SIBI-P1 Translation H7200-152
and he was seen
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem of ראה carries a passive or reflexive sense, meaning "to be seen" or "to appear." The sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive) 3rd masculine singular form conveys past narrative action, hence "and he was seen." |
