SIBI-P1 H1980-76
and they walked
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ attached to Qal wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 3rd common plural of הלך; narrative past tense, plural subject (they). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root הלך fundamentally denotes walking or going, both literally and figuratively (conducting oneself). The Qal wayyiqtol 3rd common plural form expresses a simple past narrative action performed by "they," so "and they walked" preserves both the core motion sense of the root and the plural verbal morphology. |
