SIBI-P1 H3615-69

and they came to an end

Morphological NotesConjunction וַ + Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) verb, 3rd person masculine plural from כלה. Narrative past tense: "and they..."
Rendering RationaleThe verb is from the root כלה, which centers on the idea of bringing something to completion or reaching its end. In the Qal waw-consecutive imperfect, 3rd masculine plural, it denotes that "they" (masculine plural) came to their completion or end. The rendering preserves both the core notion of ending and the third-person masculine plural form.
