and she lifted
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense "to lift/bear." The sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) 3rd feminine singular is rendered as "and she lifted," preserving both the feminine singular subject and the root’s core idea of lifting or bearing. |
