he struck him
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect 3ms of נכה with 3ms pronominal suffix ("him"). The Hiphil stem is the standard active form for this root, expressing the act of striking or causing harm. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נכה centers on the act of striking or smiting, often with harmful or lethal force. The form is Hiphil perfect 3rd masculine singular with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, indicating "he" (masculine singular subject) "struck" "him" (masculine singular object). The rendering preserves both the force of the root and the precise grammatical relationships. |
