SIBI-P1 Translation H5647-09
they served them
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect, 3rd person common plural with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to work/serve." The perfect 3rd person common plural with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "they served them," maintaining both the verbal action and the pronominal object. |
