and he arrived
| Root | אתה (ʾ-ṭ-h (ʾâthâh)) |
| Core Meanings | to come, to arrive, to approach, to bring upon |
| Semantic Range | to come, to arrive, to enter, to approach, to come upon, to bring (in certain contexts) |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb often marks significant moments of arrival—whether of people, events, or divine intervention—highlighting transition points in biblical narrative where movement leads to encounter, fulfillment, or consequence. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Qal wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular from אָתָה, indicating sequential past narrative action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed past action in narrative sequence: "and he arrived." "Arrived" preserves the core sense of the root as movement toward and reaching a destination, while the masculine singular "he" reflects the grammatical person and gender. |
