SIBI-P1 Translation H4672-16
they caused to be found
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), perfect, 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so rather than simply "they found" (Qal), this form means they caused something to be found or brought into a state of being found. The perfect 3rd person common plural is reflected in "they caused." |
