SIBI-P1 H2040-09
she was torn down
| Morphological Notes | Verb in the Nifal stem (passive/reflexive), perfect tense, 3rd person feminine singular (HVNp3fs). The feminine singular form indicates a feminine noun as subject (e.g., city, altar, wall). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root הרס conveys the act of tearing down or demolishing. In the Nifal stem it functions as a passive, and the perfect 3rd feminine singular form requires the rendering "she was torn down," preserving both the passive sense and the feminine singular subject indicated by the morphology. |
