and he caused them to see
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem of ראה carries a causative sense, "to cause to see" or "to show." The 3ms sequential imperfect with 3mp suffix is preserved as "and he caused them to see," reflecting both the causative action and the masculine plural object. |
