and she settled down

Morphological NotesConjunction waw + Qal wayyiqtol (preterite) 3rd feminine singular of ישׁב. Narrative past tense with feminine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root ישׁב (y-š-b) conveys the act of sitting and, by extension, dwelling or settling. The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular, indicating a completed narrative action performed by a female subject, hence "and she settled down," which preserves both the core sense of settling/sitting and the feminine singular morphology.
