SIBI-P1 H935-212

and they came-in

Morphological NotesHC/Vqw3mp: waw-consecutive + qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural of בּוֹא; indicates past narrative sequence with the vav reversing tense to perfective action.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering 'came-in' preserves the core root meaning of entering or arriving inherent in בוא, distinguishing it from mere motion verbs, while 'they came' directly reflects the 3mp morphology; the conjunction 'and' matches the vav-consecutive prefix. This form-specific translation maintains semantic depth without altering the primitive sense of ingressive motion.
