Rootנפל (n-p-l)
Core Meaningsfalling, descending, collapsing, being cast down, perishing
Semantic Rangeto fall physically, to collapse, to be cast down, to fall in battle (die), to fall prostrate, to fall by lot, to fall away, to perish, to be overthrown
Conceptual Significanceנפל often conveys vulnerability, judgment, mortality, or divine intervention. Falling can signify physical defeat, death, submission before YHWH, or the collapse of nations and powers, making it a key term in narratives of judgment and deliverance.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem (simple active), imperfect (yiqtol) form, 3rd masculine singular. No pronominal suffix. In context may express present, future, habitual, or modal nuance.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating simple active action performed by a masculine singular subject.
