SIBI-P1 Translation G2013-02
they attained
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, 3rd person plural, denotes a completed action in the past: "they attained." This preserves the strengthened root sense of successfully reaching or obtaining a sought goal, reflecting purposeful attainment rather than mere accidental finding. |
