SIBI-P1 Translation H5327-07
they contend
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a reflexive or reciprocal sense of engaging in conflict, and the 3rd person masculine plural imperfect form indicates "they" as the subject in an ongoing or incomplete action. "They contend" preserves the root idea of striving or quarreling while reflecting the plural verbal morphology. |
