SIBI-P1 Translation H4390-60
and he filled fully
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys an intensive or causative action of making something full, so "filled fully" reflects the active, completive force of the root. The 3rd person masculine singular sequential imperfect is rendered as "and he" to preserve the morphology. |
