he interpreted
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of the root, which in biblical usage is specialized to solving or opening up the meaning of something hidden, especially a dream. The perfect 3ms form is rendered as a completed past action, "he interpreted." |
