SIBI-P1 H935-211

and he came

Morphological NotesHC/Vqw3ms: Waw-consecutive + Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular; narrative past sequential form from lemma בּוֹא (bôwʾ), with variant accentuations but identical parsing across occurrences.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering 'and he came' preserves the core semantics of motion toward a point (arrival/coming) inherent in the בוא root, while exactly matching the morphology: waw-consecutive (HC) for sequential 'and', Qal stem for simple active action, wayyiqtol perfective for past narrative tense, and 3ms subject for 'he'. This maintains grammatical person, number, and gender without alteration.
