SIBI-P1 Translation H7760-68
and they set
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active action "to set/place." The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) with 3rd person masculine plural indicates a past narrative action by multiple masculine subjects, hence "and they set." |
