and you (masculine plural) walked
| Root | הלך (h-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | to walk, to go, to move, to proceed, to conduct oneself |
| Semantic Range | to walk physically, to travel, to go, to depart, to conduct oneself, to live or behave according to a pattern, to proceed or continue |
| Conceptual Significance | הלך is a foundational biblical verb describing both literal movement and metaphorical conduct. One’s "walking" often signifies covenant faithfulness or unfaithfulness, expressing a lived pattern of obedience, rebellion, or daily life before YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect 2nd person masculine plural with prefixed waw-consecutive (vav conversive), giving sequential past narrative force: "and you walked." |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of the root הלך as physical or figurative walking. The form is Qal perfect 2nd person masculine plural with prefixed vav-consecutive, indicating past narrative sequence, hence "and you (masculine plural) walked." |
