SIBI-P1 Translation H3205-69
and she bore
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active act of bringing forth offspring. The 3rd person feminine singular form requires a feminine subject, hence "she bore," and the prefixed conjunction adds "and." |
