they have fallen

Rootנפל (n-p-l)
Core Meaningsfalling, collapsing, descending, being cast down, perishing
Semantic Rangeto fall physically, collapse, fall in battle, perish, be overthrown, fall from status, fall by lot, lie fallen, die
Conceptual Significanceנפל often marks decisive reversal—defeat in battle, divine judgment, or human mortality. It conveys the vulnerability of human strength before YHWH and the reality of downfall when divine support is withdrawn.
Morphological NotesQal perfect, 3rd person common plural (HVqp3cp). Simple active stem; completed action; plural subject with no gender specified.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root "to fall." The perfect 3rd common plural form indicates a completed action performed by "they," without gender distinction, hence "they have fallen," preserving both the root idea of falling and the plural subject.
