SIBI-P1 Translation H5130-17
and he caused to wave
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action, so the rendering reflects causing something to move back and forth rather than merely waving oneself. The sequential perfect with prefixed conjunction is represented by "and," and the 3rd masculine singular is preserved as "he." |
