SIBI-P1 H3381-59
and he descended
| Root | ירד (y-r-d) |
| Core Meanings | descent, going down, lowering, falling, moving to a lower place |
| Semantic Range | to go down physically (from higher to lower elevation), to descend to a place (e.g., Egypt, a valley), to fall in battle, to decline in status, to go down to Sheol (die), to move southward geographically |
| Conceptual Significance | Descent is a recurring biblical motif—geographical (going down to Egypt), spiritual (falling into sin or judgment), and existential (descending to Sheol). The verb often marks pivotal transitions, humility, exile, or divine orchestration of movement from one state or place to another. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ (waw-consecutive) + Qal wayyiqtol imperfect 3ms of יָרַד; narrative past tense, masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root ירד, meaning "to go down" or "to descend." The form is a waw-consecutive (wayyiqtol) Qal 3rd masculine singular, which narrates a past action performed by "he," hence "and he descended," preserving both the root sense of downward movement and the masculine singular subject. |
