and I called out

Rootקרא (q-r-ʾ)
Core Meaningscall, cry out, summon, proclaim, name, announce, read aloud
Semantic Rangeto call out loudly, summon someone, invoke a name, proclaim publicly, read aloud, assign a name, announce, invite
Conceptual Significanceקרא is central in biblical theology for invoking the Name of YHWH, prophetic proclamation, and the public reading of Torah. It conveys relational address—whether human to human, human to God, or God calling His people—highlighting covenantal communication and revelation.
Morphological NotesQal stem; wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 1st person common singular. Narrative past tense with prefixed waw converting the imperfect to sequential past: "and I…".
Rendering RationaleThe root קרא centers on vocal address—calling, summoning, or proclaiming aloud. The form is Qal wayyiqtol, first person common singular, indicating simple active voice in past narrative sequence, hence "and I called out," preserving both the vocal sense of the root and the 1cs morphology.
