And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up [and][note: *Here "[and]" is supplied because the previous participles ("descended" and "came up") have been translated as finite verbs] rolled away the stone and sat down[note: Or "was sitting"; here "sat down" reflects an ingressive nuance (beginning of a process or entry into a state) in the translation of the imperfect verb] on it.
