SIBI-P1 Translation H5975-61
and they stood
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple, intransitive sense "to stand" or "to take one’s place." The sequential imperfect 3rd masculine plural conveys a past narrative action performed by "they," hence "and they stood." |
