and he caused to fall
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the causative sense of the root נפל (“to fall”), meaning “to cause to fall” or “to bring down.” The sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive) in 3rd masculine singular is reflected by “and he caused.” |
