SIBI-P1 Translation H7832-15
and he laughed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple, active sense "to laugh." The sequential perfect (vav-consecutive) with 3rd masculine singular is rendered "and he laughed," maintaining both the narrative sequence and masculine singular subject. |
