and they said

Morphological NotesHC = vav-consecutive prefix; V = Qal stem; q = imperfect aspect; 3 = third person; c = common gender; p = plural. The vav-consecutive (וְ) marks sequential narrative action in Biblical Hebrew prose.
Rendering RationaleThe morphology HC/Vqp3cp indicates a Qal imperfect third-person common plural with a vav-consecutive prefix. This renders as 'and they said' in English, preserving the declarative core meaning of אמר while accurately reflecting the third-person plural subject (masculine or common gender in Hebrew) and the narrative sequential function of the vav-consecutive construction.
