finished us
To bring to completion or fulfillment; to finish, come to an end, or consume. The root כָּלָה expresses the reaching or accomplishing of a limit or an intended purpose, and hence also ending, ceasing, or perishing. Intransitively, it refers to being completed, finished, or exhausted; transitively, to completing, bringing to an end, consuming, or destroying. It can also carry the sense of longing or pining away, as of a soul reaching its limit. The word's semantic range thus includes both neutral senses of completion and negative senses of complete destruction or consumption.

he completely consumed us
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative nuance), perfect 3rd masculine singular with 1st common plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the action of the root כלה, conveying active, thorough bringing-to-an-end or consumption. The 3ms perfect with 1cp suffix is rendered as "he ... us," preserving both subject and object morphology. |
