SIBI-P1 H622-45

and they gathered themselves

Morphological NotesVerb in the Niphal stem; waw-consecutive imperfect (wayyiqtol) 3rd masculine plural. The Niphal gives a reflexive/passive sense: "they were gathered" or "they gathered themselves."
Rendering RationaleThe root אסף conveys the act of gathering or collecting. In the Niphal stem (reflexive/passive), it commonly means "to gather oneself" or "to be gathered." The waw-consecutive imperfect 3rd masculine plural form is reflected by "and they gathered themselves," preserving both the reflexive nuance and the masculine plural subject.
