and they imbibed
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + Qal perfect 3rd common plural (וְשָׁתוּ). The form may function as a narrative past ("and they drank") or simple perfect depending on context. Subject is third person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root שתה, meaning "to drink" or "to imbibe." The form is Qal 3rd common plural with prefixed conjunction, indicating "and they" as the subject. "Imbibed" preserves the root sense of actively taking in drink, while clearly reflecting the third person common plural form. |
