he burned up

Rootשרף (ś-r-p̄)
Core Meaningsburning, setting on fire, consuming by flame, incineration
Semantic Rangeto burn, set on fire, consume by fire, incinerate, destroy by burning; metaphorically to consume or destroy utterly
Conceptual SignificanceBurning in the Hebrew Bible often signifies total destruction, purification, or divine judgment. The root שׂרף can denote both literal combustion and symbolic removal of impurity or wickedness through consuming fire.
Morphological NotesVerb in the Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. Denotes a completed past action by a masculine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action performed by a male subject: "he burned." The addition of "up" reflects the root’s sense of consuming by fire, preserving the intensive, destructive force inherent in שׂרף while accurately representing the 3ms morphology.
