SIBI-P1 Translation G4797-02
they were mixing together
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, third person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
