SIBI-P1 H1361-08
as he was lofty
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect 3rd masculine singular, preceded by the comparative preposition כ ("as, like"). The Qal stem expresses a simple or stative sense: to be high, lofty, exalted. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular from גבה, describing a completed or stative condition: "he was high/lofty." The prefixed כ functions comparatively ("as" or "according to"), yielding "as he was lofty," which preserves both the root sense of height/exaltation and the masculine singular verbal form. |
