SIBI-P1 Translation H559-86
and they say
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural, with prefixed conjunction ו. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to say/speak." The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form with prefixed conjunction ו is rendered "and they say," maintaining both the conjunction and plural masculine subject. |
