they anointed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (completed action), 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of applying oil by smearing. The perfect 3rd person common plural form is reflected by "they," and "anointed" preserves the root sense of ritual smearing for consecration or appointment. |
