SIBI-P1 Translation H3847-39
and he clothed them
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect 3rd masculine singular with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causative action, indicating that the masculine singular subject caused the masculine plural object to be clothed. The rendering preserves the core root sense of enveloping or covering with garments while reflecting the pronominal suffix "them." |
