he appointed her
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3ms with 3fs suffix denotes a completed action by a masculine singular subject toward a feminine singular object. "Appointed" preserves the root sense of fixing or designating by intentional arrangement, while "her" reflects the feminine singular suffix. |
