they rested
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal (simple active), perfect, 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple, intransitive action of coming to rest or settling. The perfect 3rd person common plural form is reflected by "they rested," preserving both plurality and the root sense of ceasing movement or settling into a state of repose. |
