I called out

Rootקרא (q-r-ʾ)
Core Meaningscalling, summoning, proclaiming, naming, reading aloud
Semantic Rangeto call, summon, cry out, proclaim, declare, read aloud, name, invite, address, publish
Conceptual Significanceקרא 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 NotesVerb, 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 RationaleThe 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.
