and she became pregnant

| Core Meanings | to conceive, to become pregnant, pregnancy, bearing life |
| Semantic Range | to conceive a child; to become pregnant; figuratively, to conceive plans, trouble, or iniquity |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb frequently marks pivotal moments in biblical narrative, especially in accounts of covenant lineage and divine promise, where conception signifies divine intervention, blessing, or the unfolding of redemptive history. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Qal wayyiqtol imperfect 3rd feminine singular from הרה. The wayyiqtol form marks sequential past narrative action: "and she...". |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular (Vqw3fs), indicating a past narrative action performed by a female subject. "And she became pregnant" preserves the simple active sense of the Qal stem and reflects the feminine singular subject, while maintaining the root idea of entering into pregnancy. |
