you settled
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (completed action), 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of the root י־ש־ב, whose core sense is to sit or settle oneself. The perfect 2nd person masculine plural form indicates a completed action performed by 'you' (masculine plural), hence 'you settled.' |
