he walked
| Root | הלך (h-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | to walk, to go, to move about, to proceed, to conduct oneself |
| Semantic Range | to walk physically, to travel, to go or depart, to proceed, to behave or conduct oneself, to live in a certain manner, to advance or continue. |
| Conceptual Significance | הלך is a foundational biblical verb describing both literal movement and metaphorical conduct. One’s "walking" often signifies covenantal faithfulness or rebellion, expressing a life-pattern before יהוה or in accordance with His ways. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect (qatal) conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple, active sense of the root הלך, "to walk" or "to go." The perfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates a completed action performed by "he," thus "he walked," preserving both the core movement sense and the grammatical person, number, and gender. |
