SIBI-P1 Translation H8085-63
you heard them
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect, 2nd person masculine singular + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple hearing or attentive listening. The perfect 2nd person masculine singular with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields “you (ms) heard them,” preserving both the completed action and the plural object. |
