he will cause to add
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; imperfect conjugation; 3rd person masculine singular. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
will continue
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Yosif' here has the sense of repeating or doing again, so 'will continue' better fits the context than 'he will cause to add.' |
