SIBI-P1 Translation H559-85
and he says
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular, prefixed conjunction וְ (and). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to say/speak." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form with prefixed conjunction וְ yields "and he says," maintaining both verbal action and masculine singular subject. |
