they descended
| Root | ירד (y-r-d) |
| Core Meanings | to descend, go down, move downward, fall, be brought low |
| Semantic Range | to go down geographically (from higher to lower elevation), descend to a place (e.g., Egypt, the sea, a valley), go down into Sheol, fall in battle, decline in status, be brought low, sink or drop. |
| Conceptual Significance | Descent in the Hebrew Bible often marks transition—into Egypt, into exile, into battle, or into the realm of the dead. It can signify both physical movement and symbolic lowering, whether in judgment, humility, or the unfolding of divine providence. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from יָרַד in the Qal stem; perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person common plural. Denotes a completed action in past narrative sequence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 3rd person common plural, indicating a completed action performed by "they." "They descended" preserves the core root idea of downward movement inherent in ירד while accurately reflecting the plural subject and simple active stem. |
