SIBI-P1 Translation H6908-41
and they were gathered
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense of the root קבץ, indicating that the subjects underwent gathering rather than actively gathering others. The sequential imperfect with prefixed וַ expresses past narrative sequence, and the 3rd masculine plural is preserved as "they." |
