SIBI-P1 Translation H6485-17
they were mustered
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hothpaal (passive-reflexive), perfect, 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root פקד conveys active attention and taking account; in the Hothpaal (passive-reflexive) perfect 3rd common plural, the form denotes that the subjects underwent being attended to or counted. "They were mustered" preserves both the passive voice and the accounting/numbering aspect inherent in the root. |
