and you ate

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ plus Qal wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 2nd person masculine plural from אָכַל. The vav-consecutive gives it past narrative force: "and you ate."
Rendering RationaleThe form is Qal (simple active) with vav-consecutive attached to a 2nd person masculine plural verb, yielding a past narrative sense: "and you ate." The rendering preserves the direct, active sense of the root אכל as physical or figurative consumption while accurately reflecting the plural addressees.
