SIBI-P1 Translation H7069-10
he acquired me
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect, 3rd person masculine singular + 1st person common singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active acquisition. The perfect 3rd masculine singular with 1st common singular suffix yields "he acquired me," preserving both the root sense of obtaining and the attached object pronoun. |
