and you all served
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive perfect form) 2nd person masculine plural of עָבַד. The -תֶּם ending marks 2mp; the waw consecutive places it in narrative sequence as past action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root עבד conveys the idea of working or serving, often in the sense of labor or devoted service. The form is Qal with prefixed waw-consecutive and second masculine plural ending, indicating a simple active past narrative action performed by "you" (masculine plural), hence "you all served." |
