SIBI-P1 Translation H3341-09

and she kindled

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person feminine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to kindle/ignite." The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) with 3rd feminine singular is reflected by "and she," maintaining both the narrative sequence and feminine singular morphology.
