I struck
To strike, hit, or inflict a blow, either physically or figuratively. The verb נָכָה encompasses a range of force, from a simple tap or touch to a severe blow causing harm or death. It is frequently used for actions ranging from causing wounds or physical damage, defeating in battle, killing, or otherwise causing a decisive impact on individuals, groups, and even objects or nations. It can also appear in idiomatic expressions conveying certainty or emphasis (e.g., 'surely,' as an intensifier), or signaling the execution of divine or judicial judgment. The precise force and outcome of the action depend on context, with senses spanning from causing mild injury to enacting capital punishment or military defeat.

I struck
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil stem (causative-active), perfect conjugation, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil perfect first person singular form expresses a completed action performed by the speaker. Although Hiphil is causative in form, with נכה it functions as the standard active stem, so "I struck" faithfully reflects the root sense of inflicting a blow. |
