they seized as spoil
| Morphological Notes | Verb in the Qal stem (simple active), perfect aspect (completed action), 3rd person common plural. No pronominal suffix attached. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd common plural form denotes a completed action performed by “they.” The rendering "they seized as spoil" preserves the concrete sense of the root בזז—taking goods or persons as plunder—while accurately reflecting the simple active stem and plural subject. |
