SIBI-P1 H6950-13
and they assembled themselves together
| Morphological Notes | Verb from קָהַל in the Niphal stem; wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd person masculine plural. The prefixed וַ marks sequential narrative action: "and they..." The Niphal stem gives a reflexive/passive nuance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a reflexive or middle sense, indicating that the masculine plural subject acted upon themselves in forming an assembly. "Assembled themselves together" preserves both the root idea of forming a gathered community (קהל) and the 3rd person masculine plural wayyiqtol form introduced by the conjunction "and." |
