Exegesis
Finally, vayar {וַיַּרְא | way-yā-rē} introduces his perception of ish ratz levado {אִישׁ רָץ לְבַדּוֹ | ʾîš rā-ṣ lə-vad-dō}, where ratz denotes continuous swift motion and levado indicates solitude. The English reconstructions preserve sequence and spatial relationships while clarifying Hebrew participial and directional structures.
