and he touched
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem; wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular. Narrative past tense with prefixed וַ־ and dagesh forte in ג marking assimilation of the waw consecutive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root נגע, whose core idea is making contact—whether gentle touching, reaching, or striking. The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple past narrative action performed by a single male subject, hence "and he touched." |
