they mastered us
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect conjugation, 3rd person common plural with 1st person common plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd person common plural expresses completed action by "they," and the 1st person common plural suffix adds "us" as the object. "Mastered" preserves the core sense of exercising ownership or authority inherent in בעל. |
