and I bowed down
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem; sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of bending or bowing. The first person singular sequential imperfect with prefixed vav is rendered as a past narrative form, preserving both the personal subject ("I") and the physical act of bowing inherent in the root קדד. |
