and they fell
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + Peal (Qal-equivalent) perfect, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Peal (simple active) perfect 3rd person masculine plural form denotes a completed action by masculine plural subjects. "And they fell" preserves the basic intransitive sense of the root נפל and reflects both the conjunction and plural morphology. |
