and they contended
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of engaging in dispute or contention. The sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) with 3rd person masculine plural is reflected in "and they contended," maintaining both the narrative sequence and plural masculine subject. |
