SIBI-P1 Translation H7200-170
and he caused to see
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) sequential perfect, 3rd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, shifting the root idea of "seeing" to "causing to see." The 3rd masculine singular sequential perfect form is reflected as "and he caused," preserving both causation and subject gender/number. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and he causes to see
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and he caused to see' is past, but Hebrew verb here is hifil imperfect (causes to see). Maintain the causative meaning but adjust to 'and he causes to see' for general/gnomic sense. |
