SIBI-P1 H3212-78
and he walked on
| Morphological Notes | HC/Vqw3ms: waw-consecutive + Qal wayyiqtol, 3rd person masculine singular from הלך. Narrative preterite form commonly used to advance storyline. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed narrative action by a single male subject: "and he walked." Rendering it "walked on" preserves the concrete root sense of הלך (to walk, to go along a path) while reflecting the sequential force of the waw-consecutive in biblical narrative. |
