SIBI-P1 Translation H3202-07
he is able
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יכל denotes ability or capacity. This Hiphil imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses his capacity or power to act; in this verb the Hiphil functions with the sense "be able" rather than a distinct causative nuance. |
