and he saw
| Root | ראה (r-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | seeing, perceiving, observing, discerning, experiencing |
| Semantic Range | to see visually, to perceive mentally, to notice, to consider, to inspect, to experience, to understand, to regard or evaluate |
| Conceptual Significance | ראה is a foundational verb in biblical narrative, marking moments of perception, evaluation, and revelation. Divine "seeing" often signals awareness, judgment, or compassionate attention, while human seeing frequently introduces discernment, temptation, insight, or prophetic vision. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ (vav consecutive) + Qal wayyiqtol imperfect 3ms of רָאָה; sequential past narrative form meaning "and he saw." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple past narrative action performed by a masculine singular subject. "And he saw" preserves both the basic sensory meaning of the root ראה and the masculine singular verbal form in the Hebrew narrative sequence. |
