     […] 'ad shebá'u talmideihém v'am'rú lahém: "rabotéinu, higía' z'mán k'ri'át sh'má' shel shakharít!"
     […] ʿaḏ šebbā́ʾū ṯalmīḏēhem wəʾāmərū lāhem: "rabbōṯḗnū, higgī́aʿ zəman qərīʾaṯ šəmaʿ šel šaḥărīṯ!"

     […] until their students came and said to them: “Our teachers, the time has arrived for the morning recital of the Shema!”

• English arrive typically uses similar prepositions to those of be: “be/arrive in a country”, “be/arrive at home” (or “be/arrive home”), and so on. By contrast, Hebrew הִגִּיעַ typically uses similar prepositions (and postpositions) to those of הָלַךְ‎ (halákh, “to walk, to go”): “הלך/הגיע למדינה”, ‎ “הלך/הגיע לבית” (or “הלך/הגיע הביתה”), and so on.
