and causing harm
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil infinitive absolute verb with prefixed conjunction וְ; causative stem indicating active causing of harm or badness. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the verb a causative sense, meaning to cause badness or harm. The infinitive absolute is rendered as a verbal noun ('causing harm'), and the prefixed conjunction וְ is preserved as 'and.' |
