and they extolled
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Pael (intensive active), perfect, 3rd person masculine plural, with prefixed conjunction וְ |
| Rendering Rationale | The Pael stem conveys an intensive active sense of vocal praise, so "extolled" reflects heightened public acclaim. The perfect 3rd person masculine plural is preserved in "they extolled," with the prefixed conjunction rendered as "and." |
