SIBI-P1 Translation H1541-04
he caused to remove
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Haphel (causative); perfect; 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Haphel stem is causative, so the verb expresses causing the action of the root גלה. Rendering it as "he caused to remove" preserves the core idea of uncovering/removal while reflecting the third masculine singular perfect form. |
