SIBI-P1 H3381-56
and he went down
| Root | ירד (y-r-d) |
| Core Meanings | to go down, descend, move downward, fall, sink, be brought low |
| Semantic Range | literal descent from higher to lower location; going down to Egypt or Sheol; moving downhill; sinking; falling; being brought low in status; military advance toward lower terrain. |
| Conceptual Significance | Descent in the Hebrew Bible often marks transition—geographical (to Egypt, to valleys), spiritual (decline or humiliation), or existential (to Sheol). The verb frequently signals pivotal movement in redemptive history, where "going down" precedes divine intervention or later exaltation. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Qal wayyiqtol (Vqw) 3ms of ירד; narrative past tense with prefixed vav consecutive; masculine singular subject implied. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular from ירד, expressing simple active descent in past narrative sequence. "And he went down" preserves the core idea of downward movement while accurately reflecting the masculine singular subject and the consecutive narrative form. |
