SIBI-P1 H3782-26

and they stumbled

Morphological NotesVerb from כשל in the Qal stem; waw-consecutive + perfect (Vqq3cp/Vqp3cp), 3rd person common plural, indicating narrative past action: "and they stumbled."
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
