b. occur, take place, come about, come to pass: — גְדוֺלָה הָֽיְתָה בָּעָם מַגֵּפָה 1 Samuel 4:17 a great slaughter has taken place among the people, compare 2 Samuel 17:9; וַתְּהִי הַמִּלְחָמָה בְּיַעַר אֶפְרַיִם 2 Samuel 18:6 and the battle took place in the wood of Ephraim (on אפרים compare Klo Dr); Joshua 22:17 (P; of plague); תְּהִי נָא אָלָה Genesis 26:28 (J) let an oath take place (be taken) so Judges 21:5; compare 2 Kings 17:7 (si vera lectio), Ezekiel 16:34; especially late, 2 Chronicles 29:36; 32:31; Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10; Ecclesiastes 3:22; Ecclesiastes 8:7; Ecclesiastes 10:14 etc.; often of fulfilment of prediction, command, expectation, etc.: — כֵּן הָיָה Genesis 41:3 (E) so it came to pass, 2 Samuel 13:25, וַיְהִיכֵֿן Judges 6:38; 2 Kings 15:12; Isaiah 29:5, & especially וַיְהִיכֵֿן Genesis 1:7, 9, 11, 15, 24, 30 (all P) +; יְהִי כִדְבָרֶ֑ךָ Genesis 30:34 let it be as thou sayest, Zechariah 6:15, see also לֹא תָקוּם וְלֹא יִהְיֶה Isaiah 7:7 it shall not arise (be realized) & shall not come about, Isaiah 14:34; (so often בּוֺא which see 2c, above).
2. especially & very often, come about, come to pass followed by substantive (subject) clause almost always + modifying (usually temporal) clause or phrase:
a.
(1.) וַיְהִי and it came to pass that, most often (approximately + 292 times) followed by
(a) Imperfect consecutive:
α. with Infinitive with כְּ temporal Genesis 12:14; Genesis 19:17 (both J) + 75 times + Esther 3:4 Qr (Hexateuch chiefly J, — so always Genesis, — & J E; P only Exodus 16:10, D only Deuteronomy 5:20; Deuteronomy 31:24; Joshua 5:1; Joshua 9:1; + 27 times in Kings), — somewhat different is 2 Kings 7:18;
β. with Infinitive with בְּ Genesis 4:8; Genesis 11:2 (both J) + 29 times + Esther 3:4 Kt (in Hexateuch + 10 times J E; + 3 times P, Genesis 19:29; Exodus 34:29; Numbers 17:7; not in D);
γ. with בְּ followed by temporal noun (יוֺם, בֹּקֶר, etc.) Genesis 21:22 (E) Genesis 26:32 (J) + 45 times (Hes + 14 times J E; + 3 times P, Exodus 6:28; Exodus 16:13; Numbers 7:1; not D);
δ. לְ temporal 1 Samuel 1:20; 2 Samuel 13:23; 1 Kings 20:26; 1 Chronicles 20:1;
ε. כְּ temporal Genesis 39:11; 1 Samuel 25:38;
ζ. מִן temporal namely: מֵאָז Genesis 39:5, מִיּוֺם 1 Samuel 7:2; compare 1 Samuel 30:25, מִיָּמִים Judges 11:4; Judges 15:1, מִקֵּץ Genesis 4:3; Genesis 8:6 + 6 times, מִקְצֵה Joshua 3:2; 2 Kings 8:3; Ezekiel 3:16, especially מִמָּחֳרָת Genesis 19:34; Exodus 18:13 + 11 times;
η. כַּאֲשֶׁר temporal Genesis 12:11 (J) Genesis 20:13 (E) + 31 times (Hexateuch + 13 times J E, Deuteronomy 2:16, not P), characteristic of Nehemiah's memoirs, † Nehemiah 3:33; Nehemiah 4:1; Nehemiah 4:6; Nehemiah 4:9; Nehemiah 6:1, 16; Nehemiah 7:1; Nehemiah 13:19;
θ. with כִּי temporal Genesis 6:1 (J) Exodus 3:21 (E) + 14 times + Judges 16:25 Kt;
ι. אַחֲרֵי temporal Genesis 22:20 (J) + 13 times, אַחַר Genesis 39:7; Job 42:7, אַחֲרֵיכֵֿן Judges 16:14 + 6 times;
κ. followed by עַד temporal 1 Samuel 14:19 (on which compare Dr); compare עַדכֹּֿה וְעַדכֹּֿה 1 Kings 18:45;
λ. with combinations; as בְּ with temporal noun + בְּ Infinitive Genesis 34:25; Exodus 19:16; 1 Samuel 25:37; בְּ Infinitive + כְּ Infinitive Joshua 3:14; double preposition כְּמִשְּׁלשׁ חֳדָשִׁים Genesis 38:24; מִקְצֵה + אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר Joshua 9:16; מִיָּמִים + id. Joshua 23:1;
μ. other unusual constructions under this head are: those where temporal idea is expressed by a circumstantial clause Isaiah 22:7; 1 Kings 13:20; 2 Kings 8:21 (Dr§ 165, & Obs.) = 2 Chronicles 21:9; those with indefinite כֹּל 1 Samuel 10:11; 2 Samuel 2:23; 2 Samuel 15:2, or with participle = rel. clause 1 Samuel 11:1 (on all see Dr§ 78 n. & Sm); quite unique is 1 Kings 16:31, with הֲנָקֵל לָכְתּוֺ וגו׳ in place of temporal clause
(b) וַיְהִי sometimes followed by simple Perfect, with a negative Genesis 39:10 (with כְּ Infinitive), Exodus 13:17 (with בְּ Infinitive) 2 Kings 12:7; 2 Kings 17:25 (both with בְּ temporal); & without negative, Genesis 8:13 (P) Genesis 14:1 +, usually with בְּ temporal (38 times), Hexateuch chiefly P; rarely with other preposition & adverb as above; note especially מִדֵּי followed by Infinitive 1 Samuel 18:30; 2 Chronicles 12:11; sometimes the subject of following Perfect precedes it with וְ, as Genesis 22:1; Genesis 41:1; 1 Samuel 18:19; 1 Samuel 30:1; 2 Kings 2:9; 2 Kings 4:40 +; note especially 2 Samuel 17:27 where several subject & also several objects precede the Perfect (compare Dr); in these cases temporal modifier is occasionally a circumstantial clause 2 Samuel 13:30; 1 Kings 8:10; 2 Kings 19:37 = Isaiah 37:38; rarely subject precedes Perfect without וְ 1 Kings 11:4; 1 Kings 21:1, compare subject preceding Participle without וְ Nehemiah 4:10; in 2 Chronicles 8:1 the object (with וְ) precedes what is apparently the principal verb.
(c) וַיְהִי followed by וְהִנֵּה Genesis 24:15 (J; טֶרֶם in temporal clause), Genesis 29:25 (E), Genesis 38:27 (J, both בְּ temporal) Genesis 38:29 (כְּ Participle), 1 Samuel 13:10 (כְּ Infinitive); also 2 Samuel 1:2; 2 Samuel 13:36; 2 Samuel 15:32 (circumstantial clause) 2 Kings 2:11 (id.), 2 Kings 3:20; 2 Kings 13:21 (circumstantial clause).

β. with בְּ local Ezekiel 47:23; Zechariah 13:8 compare also Hosea 2:1 (בִּמְקוֺם אֲשֶׁר, but perhaps = instead of, compare VB);
