SIBI-P1 H5221-72
and we struck down
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ with waw-consecutive attached to Qal imperfect 1st common plural of נכה; narrative past sequence, "and we struck." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נכה fundamentally denotes striking or smiting, often with force resulting in injury or death. The form is a waw-consecutive imperfect in the first person common plural, which in narrative context carries past tense sense, hence "and we struck down," preserving both the action and the 1st person plural subject. |
