SIBI-P1 Translation H5130-14
and he caused to wave
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נוף conveys oscillating or swaying motion. In the Hiphil stem (causative), the verb expresses causing something to move back and forth, and the sequential imperfect 3ms form yields "and he caused to wave." |
