and he sent forth
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction waw + Qal wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular of שלח; narrative past tense with masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שלח conveys the act of sending or extending something outward. The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple active past narrative action by a masculine singular subject, hence "and he sent forth," preserving both the narrative force and the outward motion inherent in the root. |
