SIBI-P1 Translation G4797-02

they were mixing together

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, third person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe imperfect active indicative, third person plural, denotes an ongoing past action: "they were." "Mixing together" preserves the root sense of pouring or blending together, which by extension yields confusion.
