and they saw
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect, 3rd person common plural, with prefixed conjunction ו ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active action, and the perfect 3rd person common plural indicates a completed action by "they." The rendering preserves the core visual sense of ראה while reflecting the plural subject and conjunction. |
