SIBI-P1 H3947-74

and they took them

Morphological NotesConjunction ו plus Qal wayyiqtol (Vqq) 3cp from לָקַח with 3mp pronominal suffix; narrative past sequence, simple active stem.
Rendering RationaleThe root לקח conveys the act of taking, grasping, or acquiring. The form is Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive) 3rd person common plural with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, so "they" (plural subject) "took" (simple active) "them" (masculine plural object) accurately preserves both the root sense and the full grammatical detail.
