SIBI-P1 H3423-41
and he took possession (by dispossessing)
| Root | ירש (y-r-sh) |
| Core Meanings | to take possession, to dispossess, to inherit, to drive out, to seize |
| Semantic Range | to dispossess inhabitants, to take possession of land, to inherit property, to seize or occupy territory, to impoverish or drive out, to succeed to an inheritance |
| Conceptual Significance | יָרַשׁ is central to the biblical theology of land inheritance, especially regarding Israel’s possession of the promised land. It conveys both divine grant and human action—receiving an inheritance while actively dispossessing prior occupants—highlighting themes of covenant fulfillment, judgment, and covenantal succession. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular from יָרַשׁ, expressing sequential past narrative action: "and he took possession/dispossessed." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a waw-consecutive Qal imperfect, 3rd masculine singular, indicating a past narrative action: "and he…" The rendering preserves the core root idea of gaining possession specifically by driving out prior occupants, maintaining both the possessive and dispossessing force inherent in יָרַשׁ. |
