SIBI-P1 Translation H7069-29
and I acquired
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 1st person common singular with prefixed conjunction waw. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active acquisition, and the sequential imperfect with prefixed waw denotes a past narrative action in the first person singular: "and I acquired." "Acquire" preserves the root’s core sense without narrowing it to purchase alone. |
