SIBI-P1 `H6466-04`

he has worked

Root	פעל (p-ʿ-l)
Core Meanings	to do, to work, to act, to accomplish, to practice
Semantic Range	to do, perform, accomplish, carry out, work, practice, produce, ordain; often used of human deeds or divine acts.
Conceptual Significance	פעל frequently describes purposeful action, whether human deeds or the works of יהוה. It underscores the tangible outworking of intent—what is brought into effect—highlighting divine sovereignty in what He has worked and human responsibility in what one has done.
Morphological Notes	Verb; Qal stem (simple active); perfect (completed action); 3rd person masculine singular.
Rendering Rationale	The root פעל conveys the idea of active doing or working, often with intentional or sustained effect. The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered "he has worked," preserving the simple active stem (Qal), completed aspect (perfect), and masculine singular subject ("he").
