and I solemnly warned

Morphological NotesHiphil sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 1st person common singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem conveys a causative or declarative force—causing testimony or issuing formal warning—so "solemnly warned" reflects the act of invoking or reiterating testimony. The 1st person singular sequential imperfect with prefixed ו is rendered as "and I" in narrative sequence.
