SIBI-P1 Translation H1692-26
he will cause to cling
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular verb. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action, so rather than simply "cling" (Qal), this form means to cause something or someone to adhere or cling. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular is rendered as "he will cause to cling," preserving both causation and masculine singular subject. |
