| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ; denotes completed action of being or becoming. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular expresses a completed state of becoming or coming into being. Rendering it as "and he/it became" preserves both the conjunction וְ ("and") and the root sense of entering into a state of existence or occurrence. |
