and she closed up
| Root | סגר (s-g-r) |
| Core Meanings | to shut, close, enclose, confine, hand over |
| Semantic Range | to shut, close, bar, confine, imprison, hand over, deliver up, enclose, block off |
| Conceptual Significance | The verb often marks decisive acts of separation—shutting doors, enclosing spaces, or handing someone over—symbolizing protection, judgment, or divine sovereignty in controlling access and outcomes. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ (waw consecutive) + Qal wayyiqtol 3fs of סגר. The wayyiqtol form advances past narrative action and specifies a third feminine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root סגר conveys the act of shutting or enclosing. The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular, indicating a simple active action in past narrative sequence, performed by a feminine subject; thus "and she closed up" preserves both the core sense of shutting/enclosing and the feminine singular subject. |
