SIBI-P1 G5463-21
they were gladdened
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist passive indicative, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IAP3,,P,). The passive form functions deponently in meaning but retains passive morphology. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist tense is reflected by the simple past "were gladdened," indicating a completed action. The passive voice is preserved by rendering the verb as something experienced rather than actively produced, consistent with the aorist passive form ἐχάρησαν. Third person plural is conveyed by "they." |
