SIBI-P1 H5422-08

they have been torn down

Morphological NotesVerb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), perfect tense, 3rd person common plural. Indicates completed action experienced by a plural subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root נתץ conveys forceful demolition or tearing down. The Niphal stem marks a passive or reflexive action, and the perfect 3rd common plural form indicates completed action by "they" (plural). Thus, "they have been torn down" preserves both the demolishing sense of the root and the plural passive morphology.
