SIBI-P1 Translation H7971-151
and I sent
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of deliberate dispatch or sending. The 1st person singular sequential perfect form with prefixed ו conveys "and I sent," reflecting both the conjunction and the personal action. |
