SIBI-P1 Translation H7337-18
he will widen
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causation, so the root idea of broadness is rendered as causing something to become wide. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates "he will" perform this widening action. |

he will enlarge
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'he will widen' is accurate in root meaning, but in this context 'enlarge' better fits territorial expansion, per the SILEX definition. |
