SIBI-P1 H6823-10
and they sheeted over
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem; waw-consecutive imperfect 3rd masculine plural (Vpw3mp), indicating sequential past narrative action: "and they …". |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "sheeted over" preserves the root sense of plating or covering with a thin layer, often of metal. The form is a waw-consecutive imperfect, third masculine plural (HC/Vpw3mp), accurately reflected by "and they" indicating completed past narrative action by masculine plural subjects. |
