SIBI-P1 Translation H7725-135
he caused them to return
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd masculine singular with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causation, so the verb means "he caused to return" rather than simply "he returned." The 3rd masculine singular subject with a 3rd masculine plural suffix is preserved as "he…them." |
