SIBI-P1 Translation H559-55
and you said
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to say/speak." The sequential perfect 2nd person masculine plural with prefixed ו conveys a past narrative action: "and you said." |

and you say
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The form is imperfect second person plural, so 'and you say' is better than P1's 'and you said' (past tense). |
