SIBI-P1 Translation H5800-73
and they abandoned
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural from עזב. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense "to leave/abandon." The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) with 3rd person masculine plural is reflected by "and they," preserving both verbal action and number. |
