SIBI-P1 Translation H6030-52
and they responded
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem; sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of giving a vocal reply. The sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) in 3rd person masculine plural conveys a past narrative action, hence "and they responded," preserving both plurality and verbal sequence. |
