SIBI-P1 Translation H7194-20
and she bound
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem; sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of the root קשר as "to bind" or "to tie." The sequential imperfect (3rd feminine singular) conveys a completed past action in narrative sequence, hence "and she bound." |
