SIBI-P1 H2232-34
you men have sown seed
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem (simple active), perfect aspect (completed action), 2nd person masculine plural. No pronominal suffix. The vowel pattern זִרְעוּ marks the 2mp perfect form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root זרע, meaning "to sow" or "to scatter seed." The form is Qal perfect, 2nd person masculine plural, indicating completed action by a group of males; therefore "you men have sown seed" reflects both the agricultural root sense and the masculine plural subject inherent in the morphology. |
