SIBI-P1 Translation H559-76
and they said
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal perfect, 3rd person common plural, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to say/speak," and the perfect 3rd person common plural form denotes completed action by "they." The prefixed conjunction וְ adds "and," yielding "and they said." |
