and they saw one another
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hithpael (reflexive/reciprocal); sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem conveys a reflexive or reciprocal action; in the 3rd person masculine plural it naturally expresses mutual seeing. The sequential imperfect form adds the narrative conjunction "and," yielding "and they saw one another." |
