he heard
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active hearing, and the perfect 3rd masculine singular denotes a completed action: "he heard." This preserves the root sense of perceiving and attending to sound without importing contextual nuance. |
