SIBI-P1 H4886-02
he was anointed (smeared with oil)
| Morphological Notes | Nifal stem (passive/reflexive), perfect (completed action), 3rd person masculine singular. The Nifal marks the subject as receiving the action of anointing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root משח denotes the act of smearing or rubbing with oil, especially in consecratory contexts. The Nifal stem conveys a passive sense, and the morphology indicates masculine singular perfect, thus "he was anointed," preserving both the passive action and masculine singular form. |
