SIBI-P1 H1129-52
he built
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect (completed aspect), 3rd person masculine singular. No pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject, thus "he built." The rendering preserves the core root sense of construction or establishment without adding interpretation beyond the simple active stem. |
