and looked
To look, gaze, or observe with intent or attention; to fix one's gaze on something or someone, often with a sense of consideration, contemplation, or purposeful perception. The word can denote both literal and metaphorical acts of looking: physically turning the eyes toward an object, or regarding something in a thoughtful or evaluative manner. In some contexts, it connotes attentive observation (often with intent to respond), and in others, it can imply viewing with favor, respect, or concern.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5027-18
and she directed her gaze
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive); 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action—causing or directing a gaze rather than merely seeing. The sequential imperfect 3rd feminine singular form is reflected by "and she," preserving both the narrative past force and feminine singular morphology. |
