SIBI-P1 H3045-133

and they came to know

Morphological NotesWaw-consecutive (ו) attached to Qal perfect 3rd person common plural of ידע; narrative past action performed by a plural subject ("they").
Rendering RationaleThe root ידע fundamentally denotes experiential or perceptive knowing. The form reflects a waw-consecutive Qal perfect 3rd person common plural (Vqq3cp), which in narrative sequence carries past tense force. "And they came to know" preserves both the simple (Qal) active sense and the plural subject implied in the morphology.
