SIBI-P1 Translation H398-105
and she consumed
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of the root "to eat/consume." The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) 3rd feminine singular form is reflected by "and she consumed," maintaining both the feminine subject and the active verbal force. |
