and he commanded
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Piel stem (intensive/authoritative); sequential perfect (waw-consecutive); 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the act of authoritative ordering, reflecting a binding directive rather than mere speech. The sequential perfect with prefixed conjunction is rendered as a simple past narrative form, preserving third masculine singular: "and he commanded." |
