SIBI-P1 Translation H3427-86
and he caused to dwell
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the causative sense of the root י-ש-ב ('to sit, dwell'), so the action is not merely residing but causing others to settle. The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) 3ms form conveys a past narrative action: 'and he caused to dwell.' |
