SIBI-P1 H1310-09

and they boiled

Rootבשל (b-š-l)
Core Meaningsboiling, cooking, seething, ripening, reaching completion through heat
Semantic Rangeto boil, seethe, cook, bake, roast; figuratively to ripen or reach maturity
Conceptual SignificanceThe root conveys transformation through heat—whether food prepared for covenantal meals (e.g., Passover contexts) or crops ripening to fullness. It reflects the biblical theme of processes brought to completion, whether in daily sustenance or symbolic maturation.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + Qal perfect 3cp of בָּשַׁל. Simple active stem; completed action; subject is third person common plural ("they").
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal perfect 3rd person common plural with a prefixed conjunction ("and"), so "and they boiled" accurately reflects the simple active sense and the plural subject. "Boiled" preserves the root idea of bringing something to completion through heat, the core meaning of בשל.
