יָרַד֙

yârad
had gone down
To go down, descend, or move from a higher to a lower position, either physically (such as descending a mountain, moving from inland to the coast, or traveling to a region of lesser elevation) or metaphorically (such as a decline in status or fortune). The term also extends to causing something or someone to move downward or to a lower status, including bringing, leading, or letting down. It is used for descending geographically, as when traveling from the central highlands of ancient Israel to the coastal plain, or for entering lower regions such as Egypt—which was often described as 'going down' due to its geographic position relative to the land of Israel.

he went down
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (qatal), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of descending, and the perfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates a completed action by one male subject. "He went down" preserves the core downward movement inherent in the root without adding contextual nuance. |
