SIBI-P1 Translation H559-64
and you said
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem; sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive); 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to say/speak." The sequential imperfect with prefixed וַ marks narrative sequence, and the 2nd person masculine plural form requires "you" (plural), yielding "and you said." |
