SIBI-P1 Translation H5422-21
and they demolished
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive), sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root sense of forceful tearing down, so "demolished" reflects deliberate, forceful destruction. The sequential perfect with prefixed ו conveys a past narrative action by third person common plural: "and they." |
