SIBI-P1 Translation H3034-23
they acknowledged themselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hithpael (reflexive), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem conveys a reflexive action, so the verb is rendered reflexively as "acknowledged themselves." This preserves the root sense of public acknowledgment while reflecting the third masculine plural sequential imperfect form. |
