and he burned

Rootשרף (ś-r-p̄)
Core Meaningsburning, consuming by fire, incineration, fiery destruction
Semantic Rangeto burn, set on fire, consume by fire, incinerate, destroy utterly; metaphorically of intense judgment or consuming wrath.
Conceptual SignificanceBurning in the Hebrew Bible often signifies divine judgment, purification, or total destruction. The verb שׂרף is frequently associated with covenantal consequences, sacrificial procedures, and the removal of impurity through fire.
Morphological NotesQal stem, 3rd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"); forms reflect wayyiqtol or waw-consecutive perfect usage in narrative sequence.
Rendering RationaleThe root שׂרף denotes the act of burning or consuming by fire. The morphology indicates Qal stem, third person masculine singular with prefixed conjunction ("and"), so "and he burned" preserves both the simple active sense of the Qal and the masculine singular subject implied in the verb form.
