she became
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem (simple active); perfect conjugation; 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd feminine singular form expresses a completed state of becoming or being in the past. "She became" preserves the dynamic aspect inherent in the root היה while clearly marking feminine singular morphology. |
