and he drew near
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular from נגש; narrative past tense, active voice. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular form conveys a completed narrative action performed by a single male subject. "Drew near" preserves the core sense of physical or relational approach inherent in נגש while accurately reflecting the masculine singular verbal form introduced by the conjunction "and." |
