they walked

Morphological NotesQal stem (simple active), perfect aspect (completed action), 3rd person common plural ("they"). No pronominal suffix. The Qal form conveys straightforward movement or conduct.
Rendering RationaleThe root הלך fundamentally denotes walking or going as a mode of movement and conduct. Rendering the Qal perfect 3rd common plural as "they walked" preserves the concrete, embodied sense of movement inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the completed action and plural subject indicated by the morphology.
