and I desired them
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal waw-consecutive (wayyiqtol), 1st person common singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("them"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root חמד, expressing strong desire or delight. In the Qal stem it denotes simple active desire. The form is waw-consecutive with first person common singular, plus a third person masculine plural suffix, thus "and I desired them," preserving both the narrative past sense and the plural object. |
