And they lifted up
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + Qal wayyiqtol (preterite) 3rd masculine plural of נשא. Narrative sequential form meaning "and they lifted/bore." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נשא fundamentally means "to lift" or "to bear/carry." The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine plural, indicating a past narrative action performed by "they" (masculine plural), hence "And they lifted up," preserving both the core physical sense of elevation/bearing and the grammatical number and person. |
