and you caused to prostitute
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive), 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, so the action is not merely committing prostitution but causing it. The 2nd person masculine singular sequential imperfect is reflected by "you" with prefixed "and" marking the waw-consecutive form. |
