and you feared in awe
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Qal waw-consecutive imperfect, 2nd feminine singular (Vqw2fs). Narrative past form addressing a single female subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root ירא in the Qal stem, expressing personal fear or reverent awe. The form is waw-consecutive imperfect, second person feminine singular, yielding the narrative past sense "and you feared," addressed to a female subject. "Feared in awe" preserves both the emotional and reverential dimensions inherent in the root. |
