and he said

Rootאמר (ʾ-m-r)
Core Meaningsto say, to speak, to declare, to utter
Semantic Rangeto say, speak, declare, command, answer, relate, think (in reported thought), issue a decree
Conceptual Significanceאמר is the primary verb of speech in Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, forming the backbone of narrative dialogue and divine revelation. It frequently introduces prophetic utterance, royal decree, or divine command, underscoring the central role of spoken word in biblical theology.
Morphological NotesAramaic verb from root אמר. Stem: Qal (simple active). Form: perfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed waw consecutive (AC/Vqp3ms), giving sequential past narrative force: "and he said."
Rendering RationaleThe form is an Aramaic Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction waw, functioning as a narrative preterite. "And he said" preserves the simple verbal force of the root אמר (to say/speak) and accurately reflects the masculine singular subject and sequential narrative sense conveyed by the waw-consecutive form.
