and build
To build, to construct, especially in relation to physical structures or settlements; by extension, to establish or found (such as a house, dynasty, city, or altar). Figuratively, to establish or produce offspring, particularly sons (with emphasis on founding a family line or household). The word can also denote repairing or restoring what has been broken or ruined, as well as setting up, making ready, or preparing something for use. The notion of building is often employed idiomatically in relational or social contexts, such as 'building a house' referring to establishing a household or lineage.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1129-42
and you built
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to build/construct." The sequential perfect 2ms form with prefixed ו indicates a consecutive action performed by a masculine singular subject, hence "and you built." |
