and he was overturned
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal (passive/reflexive), sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem marks a passive or reflexive action, and the 3rd masculine singular form indicates a completed action upon him. "Was overturned" preserves the core idea of reversal or transformation inherent in the root הפך. |
