SIBI-P1 Translation H1980-76
and they went
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person common plural with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys simple active motion, and the sequential perfect (3rd person common plural) indicates a past narrative action by multiple subjects. "And they went" preserves the plural subject and the core sense of forward movement inherent in הלך. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and they will go
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and they went' uses the perfect, but the context and common translation favor a future aspect ('will go') for this prophecy. Adjusted for the context of a prophetic statement about the future. |
