Summary¶
The Niphal Perfect combines the simple passive/reflexive stem with the perfect (completed) aspect, typically expressing a completed state or a resulting condition. The Major Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel) account for a disproportionate share, reflecting their extensive use of divine-passive constructions ("it has been decreed", "it will be done").
