SIBI-P1 Translation H5157-01
in causing to inherit
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil infinitive construct of נחל with prefixed בְּ preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the causative sense "to cause to inherit" or "to apportion as inheritance," and the infinitive construct expresses the verbal idea abstractly. The prefixed בְּ adds the sense "in/at," yielding "in causing to inherit." |
