SIBI-P1 Translation G4788-01
they shut in together
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of σύν (together) and κλείω (to shut), expressing collective enclosure. The aorist active indicative, third person plural, is reflected by the simple past “they” plus a completed action. |
