and they saw
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem; sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to see." The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) with 3rd person masculine plural indicates a past narrative action performed by "they," hence "and they saw." |
