SIBI-P1 H2308-16
and he ceased
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect (qatal) 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ ('and'); verbal root חדל; simple active stem indicating completed action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb חָדַל in the Qal stem expresses the simple action of stopping or desisting. The form is Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular with a prefixed conjunction וְ, so "and he ceased" preserves both the root sense of stopping and the masculine singular subject indicated by the morphology. |
