and they settled down

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ plus Qal waw-consecutive (Vqq) 3rd person common plural of יָשַׁב; narrative past action, "and they sat/dwelt."
Rendering RationaleThe root ישב fundamentally denotes sitting or remaining in a place, which extends to dwelling or settling. The Qal waw-consecutive 3rd person common plural form indicates a completed past narrative action performed by "they," hence "and they settled down," preserving both the narrative sequence and plural subject.
