and they will deliver them

Morphological NotesVerb, Hiphil (causative), imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; prefixed conjunction וְ.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem conveys causative action—causing someone to be safe or free—hence "deliver." The imperfect 3rd masculine plural with 3mp suffix is rendered as "they will deliver them," preserving both subject and object plurality.
