SIBI-P1 Translation H7725-28
he caused to return
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, perfect (qatal), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem marks causative action, so the basic sense "to return/turn back" becomes "to cause to return" or "to bring back." The perfect 3rd masculine singular is reflected by "he caused." |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
he turned back
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'He caused to return' is unnecessarily complex. In context, 'he turned back' (i.e., did not turn/reverse) is the plain meaning. |
