SIBI-P1 H1809-05
they became feeble
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person common plural; stative/intransitive sense describing a completed state of becoming low or weak. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd common plural form denotes a completed action performed by a plural subject, rendered as "they became." The verb דלל in Qal expresses becoming low, thin, or weak; "became feeble" preserves the root sense of diminished strength while accurately reflecting the plural verbal form. |
