and she took

Morphological NotesConjunction waw with consecutive (וַ) + Qal wayyiqtol imperfect 3rd feminine singular from לָקַח. The doubled ק reflects the dagesh forte characteristic of the wayyiqtol form.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular, indicating a simple active past action performed by a female subject in narrative sequence. "And she took" preserves the core root sense of grasping or receiving (לקח) while accurately reflecting the feminine singular subject and the sequential waw-consecutive form.
