and I confessed

Morphological NotesVerb, Hithpael (reflexive), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 1st person common singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Hithpael stem conveys a reflexive action of acknowledging oneself, hence "to confess." The sequential imperfect 1st person singular form with prefixed vav yields "and I confessed," preserving both reflexive force and personal morphology.
