and he drove out

Root	גרש (g-r-sh)
Core Meanings	drive out, expel, thrust away, banish, divorce
Semantic Range	to drive out inhabitants, expel from land, banish from community, send away, divorce a wife, thrust away enemies
Conceptual Significance	גרש often marks decisive separation—whether expulsion from land, removal of foreign peoples, or dissolution of marriage—highlighting themes of covenant boundaries, judgment, and the preservation of communal or territorial holiness in the biblical narrative.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וַ (waw consecutive) + Qal imperfect 3ms (wayyiqtol form) of גרש; narrative past tense with masculine singular subject.
Rendering Rationale	The root גרש conveys forceful expulsion or driving someone away from a place or relationship. The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed past narrative action performed by a masculine singular subject, hence "and he drove out."
