A demonstrative adverb primarily indicating a specific point in time, usually past, meaning 'then' or 'at that time.' אָז functions to situate actions or events temporally in relation to a previously mentioned or implied context. In some constructions, it serves a logical or inferential function ('thus', 'thereupon'). Rarely, it may introduce a consequence or development, especially in poetic texts or parallelism.

then
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The word אָז in context functions as a temporal marker, best rendered as 'then.' While 'at that time' is possible, 'then' is more concise and standard in narrative sequence, which fits the context of Deuteronomy 4:41. |
