SIBI-P1 Translation H7725-96
and to restore
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; infinitive construct with prefixed conjunction וּ and preposition לְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, meaning to cause something or someone to return or be brought back. The infinitive construct with prefixed וּ (and) and לְ (to) yields "and to restore," preserving both the causative force and root idea of returning. |
