they discern
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active action, and the imperfect 3rd masculine plural form denotes an ongoing or incomplete action by "they." "They discern" preserves the root idea of distinguishing or perceiving through insight without adding contextual nuance. |
