SIBI-P1 Translation G4352-01
was bowing down
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing/repeated action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular, denotes ongoing or repeated action in past time; "was bowing down" preserves the durative aspect while reflecting the core sense of physical prostration or reverent gesture inherent in προσκυνέω. |
