he built

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect (completed aspect), 3rd person masculine singular. No pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
