SIBI-P1 H8313-45
he burns up
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. The Qal conveys simple active burning or being on fire; the imperfect may express future, habitual, or modal action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes simple active action by a masculine singular subject. "He burns up" preserves the core idea of consuming by fire inherent in the root שׂרף while accurately reflecting the third-person masculine singular imperfect verbal form. |
