he addressed him
| Morphological Notes | Piel perfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (object). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem of דבר is the standard intensive/active form meaning to speak or communicate deliberately. The perfect 3ms with a 3ms pronominal suffix yields "he addressed him," preserving both the verbal force and the direct object. |
