SIBI-P1 Translation H3467-47
and he delivered them
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative); sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 3rd person masculine singular subject; 3rd person feminine plural pronominal suffix (object). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative action, meaning "to cause to be safe" or "to deliver." The sequential imperfect 3ms with a 3fp suffix yields "and he delivered them," preserving both the causative force and the feminine plural object. |
