SIBI-P1 H3381-60
and he descended
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ (waw-consecutive) + Qal wayyiqtol imperfect 3ms of יָרַד; narrative past tense, masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root ירד, meaning "to go down" or "to descend." The form is a waw-consecutive (wayyiqtol) Qal 3rd masculine singular, which narrates a past action performed by "he," hence "and he descended," preserving both the root sense of downward movement and the masculine singular subject. |
