SIBI-P1 H7121-16
they were called
| Morphological Notes | Niphal perfect, 3rd person common plural (HVNp3cp). Niphal conveys passive or reflexive force relative to the Qal stem; perfect aspect indicates completed action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קרא carries the core sense of calling out, summoning, or naming. In the Niphal stem (passive/reflexive) perfect 3rd common plural, the form נִקְרָאוּ denotes that the subjects received the action of calling—"they were called." The plural "they" accurately reflects the 3cp morphology, and the passive sense reflects the Niphal stem. |
