SIBI-P1 H3212-74
and she walked
| Morphological Notes | Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd feminine singular from הלך; the וַ marks narrative sequence ('and'), and the verb agrees with a feminine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root הלך fundamentally means "to walk" or "to go." The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular, indicated by the prefixed וַ and the feminine ending, so "and she walked" preserves both the simple active sense of the Qal stem and the feminine singular subject within the narrative sequence. |
