he commanded them
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root sense of authoritative ordering, conveying a binding directive. The sequential imperfect 3ms with 3mp suffix is preserved as "he commanded them," reflecting singular masculine subject acting upon a masculine plural object. |
