and they hurled
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil sequential imperfect 3rd masculine plural conveys a completed past action by "they," with causative force inherent in the stem. "Hurled" preserves the root’s emphasis on forceful projection rather than mere sending or placing. |
