SIBI-P1 Translation H7725-60
I turned back
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 1st person singular expresses a completed simple action by the speaker. "I turned back" preserves the core sense of directional reversal inherent in שׁוב without adding contextual nuance such as repentance or restoration. |
