and I saw
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 1st person common singular with prefixed conjunction ו. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active seeing or perceiving. The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) with 1st person common singular conveys a past narrative action, hence "and I saw," preserving both the root sense of visual perception and the verbal morphology. |
