te.ev denotes a completed action characterized as good in its sole attestation.

The single attestation presents te.ev as a completed masculine-singular verbal action characterized by the supplied gloss; Daniel 6:24 places it within the account of the accusers cast into the lions’ den, though the translation does not isolate its specific contribution.

    In Daniel 6:24, טְאֵב is a Qal perfect, third-person masculine singular form in the verse’s account of the king’s command, the accusers’ casting into the lions’ den, and their destruction. The APB renders the outcome, “the lions had power over them and crushed all their bones,” but does not identify an English equivalent for this form specifically.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 6:24, the APB translation presents the surrounding result as the lions having power over the victims and crushing their bones. It does not separately render or align the contribution of טְאֵב.
