SIBI-P1 Translation H935-172
and I came
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple action of movement toward or into a point of reference. The sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) with 1st person common singular yields a past narrative sense, hence "and I came," preserving both root meaning and morphology. |
