and he sold him
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential perfect, 3rd person masculine singular with prefixed conjunction ו; suffixed 3rd person masculine singular object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal sequential perfect 3ms form conveys a completed action by a masculine singular subject, and the 3ms pronominal suffix marks a masculine singular object—thus, "and he sold him," preserving both the transactional root meaning and the attached object. |
