SIBI-P1 Translation H5117-22
and he rested
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem; sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | Qal sequential imperfect 3ms denotes a simple past narrative action by a masculine singular subject. In the Qal stem, the verb is primarily intransitive ('to rest, to settle'), so 'and he rested' preserves both the root sense and morphology. |
