SIBI-P1 Translation H2610-07
and she acted corruptly
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active action, and the sequential imperfect (3rd feminine singular) conveys a narrative past: "and she acted." "Acted corruptly" preserves the root sense of moral crookedness or profaning behavior. |
