SIBI-P1 Translation H2856-11

and she sealed

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person feminine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple active act of sealing, and the sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) 3rd feminine singular indicates a past narrative action performed by a female subject, hence "and she sealed." The rendering preserves the concrete root sense of affixing a seal.
