I caused to weaken
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) perfect, 1st person common singular from חלה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, so the rendering reflects causing another to enter a state of weakness or sickness. The perfect 1st person singular is conveyed by "I caused." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
I caused to make ill
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 ('I caused to weaken') is close but context and lexicon ('to induce sickness or emotional distress') favor a rendering more specific to making ill or sick. 'I caused to make ill' is clearer for the piel/hiphil. |
