SIBI-P1 H7121-71
and he called out
| 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. |
