SIBI-P1 Translation H8427-03
and he inscribed
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Piel stem (intensive/active); sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys an intensive or deliberate action of marking, thus "inscribed" reflects purposeful engraving or setting of a visible mark. The sequential imperfect 3ms form with prefixed conjunction yields the narrative sense "and he inscribed." |
