| Morphological Notes | Verb, Peal stem (simple), perfect conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal perfect 2nd masculine singular denotes a completed state of being in the past. "You were" preserves the core existential sense of הוה while reflecting the masculine singular morphology. |
