and she gave milk
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative); sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem is causative, shifting the root idea from "to suck" to "to cause to suck," that is, to give milk or nurse. The sequential imperfect 3rd feminine singular is reflected by "and she" with a past narrative sense. |
