SIBI-P1 Translation H8248-37
they cause to drink
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so the action is not drinking but causing another to drink or supplying liquid. The 3rd person masculine plural imperfect is reflected by "they cause," preserving both person and number. |
