SIBI-P1 Translation H5027-27
and he caused to gaze
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential perfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causative action, so the verb denotes causing or directing a gaze rather than merely looking. The sequential perfect 3ms form is rendered as a simple past narrative action: "and he caused to gaze." |
