and he gave

Rootנתן (n-t-n)
Core Meaningsgiving, placing, setting, granting, handing over, appointing
Semantic Rangeto give, grant, bestow, place, set, put, appoint, assign, deliver, hand over, allow, cause to be given; used broadly for physical transfer, legal assignment, relational entrusting, and metaphorical bestowal.
Conceptual Significanceנתן is one of the most theologically significant verbs in the Hebrew Bible, frequently describing YHWH giving land, covenant promises, commandments, wisdom, victory, or judgment. It frames divine generosity, covenantal transfer, and sovereign appointment as central dynamics in Israel’s story.
Morphological NotesQal stem; waw-consecutive (wayyiqtol) form; 3rd person masculine singular; narrative past sequence form common in Biblical Hebrew prose.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular from נתן, expressing a simple active action performed by a single male subject in past narrative sequence. "And he gave" preserves the core idea of transferring, placing, or granting inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the masculine singular subject and consecutive narrative form.
