and-I-have-built
To build, to construct, especially in relation to physical structures or settlements; by extension, to establish or found (such as a house, dynasty, city, or altar). Figuratively, to establish or produce offspring, particularly sons (with emphasis on founding a family line or household). The word can also denote repairing or restoring what has been broken or ruined, as well as setting up, making ready, or preparing something for use. The notion of building is often employed idiomatically in relational or social contexts, such as 'building a house' referring to establishing a household or lineage.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1129-51
and I built
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 1st person common singular with prefixed conjunction ו. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of building. The sequential imperfect with prefixed ו conveys past narrative action in first person singular, hence "and I built," preserving both root meaning and morphology. |
