SIBI-P1 Translation H3427-78
and we settled
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 1st person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of the root י־ש־ב, "to sit/settle/dwell." The sequential imperfect 1st person plural conveys a past narrative action by "we," here rendered "and we settled" to preserve both the root sense of settling oneself and the plural morphology. |
