SIBI-P1 H2891-42
and he declared pure
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to Qal perfect verb, 3rd person masculine singular (וְטִהַר). The Qal stem can denote becoming pure or pronouncing something/someone pure; here it is active, with a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root טהר conveys the state or recognition of purity and brightness. In the Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction, the form denotes a completed action by a male subject, hence "and he declared pure," preserving both the root sense of purity and the grammatical features. |
