and she settled down

Rootישב (y-š-b)
Core Meaningssitting, dwelling, remaining, settling, abiding
Semantic Rangeto sit, sit down, remain, dwell, inhabit, reside, settle, abide, stay, take up residence
Conceptual Significanceישב expresses the idea of settled presence—whether physical sitting, established dwelling, or enduring habitation. In biblical theology, dwelling often conveys covenantal stability, inheritance in the land, and relational permanence, highlighting themes of rest and established belonging.
Morphological NotesQal stem; waw-consecutive (wayyiqtol) form; 3rd person feminine singular. Narrative past sequence: 'and she…'
Rendering RationaleThe root ישב fundamentally denotes sitting or settling, which extends to dwelling or remaining in a place. The form is Qal waw-consecutive imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person feminine singular, so the rendering preserves the narrative past sense ('and she…') and reflects the feminine singular subject with 'she settled down.'
