SIBI-P1 H5975-01
he stood firm
| Root | עמד (ʿ-m-d) |
| Core Meanings | standing, remaining, enduring, taking one’s stand, being established |
| Semantic Range | to stand physically, to remain, to endure, to take one’s position, to present oneself, to serve, to be established, to persist, to be stationed |
| Conceptual Significance | עמד often conveys more than physical posture; it signifies steadfastness, readiness, and covenantal faithfulness. To "stand" in biblical thought can imply enduring before YHWH, holding one’s ground in obedience, or being established by divine authority. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (completed action), 3rd person masculine singular. Simple active voice indicating that he himself performed the action of standing or taking a stand. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action performed by "he." Rendering it as "he stood firm" preserves the concrete sense of standing while reflecting the root idea of stability and endurance inherent in עמד. |
