SIBI-P1 Translation H7725-41
to cause to return
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, infinitive construct with prefixed לְ |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, so rather than simply "to return" (Qal), it means to cause someone or something to return or turn back. The infinitive construct with לְ conveys the verbal idea "to cause to return." |
