and they shall lay upon / lean upon

Morphological Notes	Conjunction וְ + Qal waw-consecutive perfect (Vqq3cp/Vqp3cp), 3rd person common plural from סמך; narrative form often conveying sequential future or past depending on context.
Rendering Rationale	The root סמך conveys the act of supporting, propping, or leaning upon. The form is Qal waw-consecutive perfect, 3rd person common plural, hence "and they shall…" in narrative sequence. The rendering preserves the concrete sense of placing weight upon or leaning in support, while reflecting the plural subject.
