SIBI-P1 Translation H7235-38
you will cause to multiply
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular verb |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, so the action is not merely increasing but causing increase. The imperfect 2nd masculine singular form is rendered as a future-oriented "you will" with causative force preserved. |
