SIBI-P1 H7121-68
and he called out
| Root | קרא (q-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | calling, crying out, summoning, naming, proclaiming, reading aloud |
| Semantic Range | to call out, summon, invite, proclaim, declare, name, read aloud, address, cry to, publish |
| Conceptual Significance | קרא often marks pivotal moments of divine or human speech—naming creation, summoning individuals, proclaiming covenantal truth, or calling upon the Name of יהוה. It underscores the power of spoken word in Israel’s theology, where calling both reveals identity and initiates relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular from קרא; narrative past tense with prefixed conjunction וַ indicating sequence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קרא conveys the act of calling, summoning, or proclaiming aloud. The form וַיִּקְרָא is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed past narrative action by a male subject, hence "and he called out," preserving both the vocal sense of the root and the masculine singular subject. |
