SIBI-P1 Translation H559-70
and he said
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem; sequential perfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אמר in the Qal stem denotes simple verbal expression, "to say" or "to speak." The sequential perfect 3ms with prefixed conjunction וְ is faithfully rendered as "and he said," preserving both the masculine singular subject and the narrative sequence form. |
