he ran
| Root | רוץ (r-w-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | running, rushing, hastening, swift movement |
| Semantic Range | to run, rush, hasten, move swiftly, run away, carry quickly, serve as a runner or courier |
| Conceptual Significance | Running in the Hebrew Bible often conveys urgency, zeal, obedience, or alarm. Whether in battle, royal service, or prophetic imagery, רוץ expresses decisive and energetic movement, frequently highlighting human responsiveness or the swift unfolding of events. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from the root רוץ in the Qal stem. Attested here as Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular (completed action: "he ran") and as Qal participle masculine singular absolute ("running one"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form רָץ in the Qal perfect 3ms is rendered "he ran," preserving the simple active sense of the Qal stem and the third masculine singular subject. In occurrences where it functions as a Qal masculine singular participle, it carries the sense "a running one," maintaining both the verbal force and masculine singular form. |
