SIBI-P1 `H7812-18`

and they bowed themselves down low

Morphological Notes	Conjunction וַ (waw-consecutive) + verb in the Hishtachavah form from שחה; wayyiqtol (preterite) 3rd person feminine plural, indicating narrative past action performed by a feminine plural subject.
Rendering Rationale	The rendering preserves the root sense of sinking or lowering oneself (שחה) by expressing physical prostration. The phrase "bowed themselves" reflects the reflexive nuance of the stem (Hishtachavah), and "they" accurately represents the third feminine plural form indicated by the morphology.
