SIBI-P1 Translation H6680-47
and he commanded
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the act of issuing an authoritative directive, and the sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) 3ms form indicates a completed past action by a masculine singular subject. "And he commanded" preserves both the authoritative force and the narrative sequence implied by the form. |
