I called out
| Root | קרא (q-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | calling, summoning, proclaiming, naming, reading aloud |
| Semantic Range | to call, summon, cry out, proclaim, declare, read aloud, name, invite, address, publish |
| Conceptual Significance | קרא is a foundational biblical verb for divine and human speech acts—calling upon YHWH, proclaiming His name, naming persons or places, and publicly reading or declaring revelation. It expresses relational address and authoritative proclamation, often marking pivotal covenantal or revelatory moments. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect aspect, 1st common singular. From the root קרא. No pronominal suffix; subject is implicit in the verbal ending "-תי" (I). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 1st common singular (HVqp1cs), indicating a completed simple active action performed by the speaker: “I.” The rendering “I called out” preserves the core root sense of vocal address or summoning inherent in קרא while accurately reflecting the first-person singular perfect form. |
