SIBI-P1 Translation H2048-08
they will trick
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil stem (causative), imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative force, indicating causing someone to be deceived or mocked; thus "they will trick" preserves both the root idea of deceptive ridicule and the causative nuance. The imperfect 3mp form is reflected in the future sense and plural masculine subject. |
