SIBI-P1 Translation H5377-12
let them deceive
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) verb, jussive, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses active causation—causing someone to be misled or deluded—and the 3rd person masculine plural jussive conveys a volitional sense, "let them." The rendering preserves both the causative force and plural masculine subject. |
