SIBI-P1 `H7931-42`

and they settled down to dwell

Root	שכן (sh-k-n)
Core Meanings	to settle, to dwell, to reside, to abide, to establish habitation
Semantic Range	to dwell, reside, settle, abide, inhabit, remain, establish residence (literally of people in land or cities; figuratively of divine presence abiding among a people)
Conceptual Significance	This root is foundational to the biblical concept of divine dwelling (Shekinah) and covenantal settlement in the land. It expresses stability, belonging, and the enduring presence of a people—or of YHWH—within a designated place.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וְ plus Qal perfect 3rd person common plural (וַ/וְ + שָׁכְנוּ). The vav may function as a consecutive converting the perfect to a narrative past, or as a simple conjunction with perfect aspect.
Rendering Rationale	The root שכן conveys the idea of settling or establishing residence. The form is Qal 3rd person common plural with prefixed conjunction, so "and they" preserves the plural subject, while "settled down to dwell" reflects the root’s sense of establishing a lasting habitation rather than a temporary stay.
