SIBI-P1 H3782-26
and they stumbled
| Morphological Notes | Verb from כשל in the Qal stem; waw-consecutive + perfect (Vqq3cp/Vqp3cp), 3rd person common plural, indicating narrative past action: "and they stumbled." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כשל conveys the idea of tottering or faltering due to weakness, leading to stumbling or falling. The form is Qal 3rd person common plural with prefixed conjunction (waw-consecutive), so "and they stumbled" preserves both the simple active sense of the Qal stem and the plural subject indicated by the morphology. |
