and-they-shot
To throw, cast, or shoot—primarily an arrow or projectile; by extension, to point or direct, and in a metaphorical sense, to teach, instruct, or give guidance. Used both of concrete physical action (shooting arrows, casting lots, throwing stones) and of indicating, explaining, or instructing in law, ritual, or custom. The teaching sense arises from the idea of clearly pointing out a direction or instruction.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3384-37
and they shot forth
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem carries a causative nuance, expressing causing something to be shot or directed. The sequential imperfect 3rd masculine plural is reflected in "and they," preserving both stem and morphology while keeping the root idea of projecting or directing outward. |
