SIBI-P1 Translation H8628-24
and they thrust-struck
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of forceful impact inherent in תקע. "Thrust-struck" keeps the root idea of driving or striking with force while reflecting the 3rd person plural sequential perfect as a completed past action introduced by "and they." |
