and they were gathered
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Niphal stem (passive/reflexive); perfect conjugation; 3rd person common plural; prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal perfect 3rd person plural expresses a passive or reflexive action, indicating that the subjects underwent the act of gathering. "Were gathered" preserves the passive nuance of the Niphal stem and the completed aspect of the perfect form, while retaining the core idea of collection or assembly inherent in the root. |
