he feared in reverent awe
| Morphological Notes | Qal verb; attested here primarily as perfect 3rd person masculine singular ("he feared"), and also as a masculine singular active participle ("one who fears"). The Qal stem denotes the basic action or state of fearing or revering. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple, active experience of fear or awe. Rendering it as "he feared in reverent awe" preserves the third person masculine singular perfect form while reflecting the root’s range from dread to covenantal reverence before God. |
