SIBI-P1
and she called out
| Root | קרא (q-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | calling out, summoning, naming, proclaiming, reading aloud |
| Semantic Range | to call out, summon, address by name, proclaim, announce, read aloud, invite, declare, cry out |
| Conceptual Significance | קרא is central to biblical themes of naming, proclamation, and divine-human communication. It is used for calling upon YHWH, proclaiming His name, publicly reading Torah, and assigning identity through naming—acts that shape covenantal relationship and communal memory. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ (vav consecutive) + Qal wayyiqtol (converted imperfect) 3rd feminine singular of קרא. Narrative past tense with a feminine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קרא centers on vocal address—calling, summoning, or proclaiming. The form וַתִּקְרָא is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular, indicating a simple active past narrative action performed by a female subject. "And she called out" preserves both the core idea of vocal summoning and the feminine singular grammar. |
