SIBI-P1 H6965-79
and he rose up
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ (vav consecutive) + Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular from קוּם; narrative preterite form indicating sequential past action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קום conveys the idea of rising or standing up, often with the extended sense of becoming established or taking action. The form וַיָּקָם is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, a narrative past tense, so "and he rose up" preserves both the sequential force of the conjunction and the masculine singular subject. |
