וַ/תּ֤וֹרֶד
𐤅/𐤕𐤅𐤓𐤃
yârad
and lowered
To go down, descend, or move from a higher to a lower position, either physically (such as descending a mountain, moving from inland to the coast, or traveling to a region of lesser elevation) or metaphorically (such as a decline in status or fortune). The term also extends to causing something or someone to move downward or to a lower status, including bringing, leading, or letting down. It is used for descending geographically, as when traveling from the central highlands of ancient Israel to the coastal plain, or for entering lower regions such as Egypt—which was often described as 'going down' due to its geographic position relative to the land of Israel.

and she brought down
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so the action is not merely descending but causing something to descend. The sequential imperfect with 3rd feminine singular subject is reflected in "and she brought down." |
