SIBI-P1 Translation H6213-78
were done
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), perfect conjugation, 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem gives a passive or reflexive sense of the root עשה (“to do, make”), and the perfect 3rd person common plural form indicates a completed action by plural subjects. "Were done" preserves both the passive force and the plural morphology while retaining the root idea of purposeful action or production. |
