SIBI-P1 Translation H748-06
they lengthened
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect, 3rd person common plural; causative active form indicating a completed action by "they." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative sense, meaning "to make long" or "to cause to be extended." The perfect 3rd common plural form indicates a completed action performed by "they," hence "they lengthened," preserving the core idea of causing extension in length or duration. |

outlived
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Replaced 'they lengthened' with 'outlived' as the SILEX definition supports the sense of their lives being prolonged beyond Yehoshua; 'outlived' is contextually precise. |
