SIBI-P1 Translation H7725-130
and they caused to return
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causation, so the action is not merely that they returned, but that they caused something or someone to return or be restored. The sequential imperfect with prefixed waw gives the narrative sense "and they…" while preserving the causative force of the root. |
