SIBI-P1 H6419-13
and he interceded
| Root | פלל (p-l-l) |
| Core Meanings | to judge, to arbitrate, to intervene, to intercede |
| Semantic Range | to judge, to arbitrate, to mediate, to intercede, to make supplication, to pray |
| Conceptual Significance | Prayer in the Hebrew Bible is often framed as active intercession—standing in judgmental appeal before YHWH. The reflexive form underscores personal engagement, portraying prayer as entering into deliberation or advocacy before the divine Judge. |
| Morphological Notes | Hitpael stem (reflexive/intensive), waw-consecutive imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular; narrative past sequence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root פלל carries the idea of judging or intervening in a case. In the Hitpael stem, it takes on a reflexive nuance—"to intervene oneself," hence "to intercede" or "to pray." The form is waw-consecutive imperfect 3rd masculine singular, so "and he interceded" preserves both the narrative past sense and the masculine singular subject. |
