SIBI-P1 Translation H5927-66
to cause to ascend
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; infinitive construct with prefixed לְ (‘to’). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root עלה (‘to ascend’), so the infinitive construct means ‘to cause to ascend’ rather than simply ‘to go up.’ This preserves the upward-motion core meaning while reflecting the causative morphology. |
