Morphological NotesConjunction ו + Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular from נגש; narrative past tense, active voice.
Rendering RationaleThe 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."
