and he hewed out
| Root | חצב (ḥ-ṣ-b) |
| Core Meanings | cutting, hewing, carving, quarrying, engraving |
| Semantic Range | to cut, hew, quarry, carve, engrave, split, dig out, shape stone or wood |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of quarrying stone or shaping materials for construction, the root evokes purposeful craftsmanship and the transformation of raw material into something ordered and usable, frequently in contexts of building, covenant monuments, or sacred architecture. |
| Morphological Notes | HC/Vqw3ms: waw-consecutive + Qal imperfect, 3rd masculine singular. Narrative past tense with simple active stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed past action in narrative sequence: “and he…”. “Hewed out” preserves the core idea of cutting or quarrying material from a larger whole, reflecting the root’s concrete sense of carving or extracting stone or wood. |
