SIBI-P1 Translation H7912-10
and they caused to discover
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Haphel (causative), perfect, 3rd person masculine plural, with prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Haphel stem conveys a causative action, so the basic sense "to find/discover" becomes "to cause to discover." The perfect 3rd masculine plural form is reflected in "they caused," and the prefixed conjunction וְ is rendered as "and." |
