SIBI-P1 Translation H5647-61
and they served
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active service or labor, and the sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive) 3rd masculine plural indicates a past narrative action: "and they served." This preserves the root sense of performing work or rendering service without adding contextual nuance. |
