Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAP3,,S,). The imperfect denotes continuous or repeated action in past time; active voice indicates the subject performs the action.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the commercial and trafficking sense inherent in πιπράσκω, which refers to selling as a trader or disposing of someone as merchandise, often into slavery. The imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular, is reflected by "was selling," conveying a past ongoing action performed by the subject.
