SIBI-P1 Translation G5087-22
they might be placed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist passive subjunctive, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,SAP3,,P,) |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist tense conveys a simple, complete act of placing, and the passive voice indicates the subjects receive the action. The subjunctive mood expresses potential or intended action, hence "might be placed," preserving both root meaning and morphology. |
