SIBI-P1 Translation H3045-115
and we knew
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 1st person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active knowing, and the 1st person common plural perfect with prefixed conjunction indicates "and we knew" in sequential past sense. The rendering preserves the core experiential and perceptual force of ידע without narrowing its semantic scope. |
