to cause to discern
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, infinitive construct with prefixed לְ indicating purpose or result. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, shifting from simple discernment (Qal) to actively causing someone to gain understanding. The infinitive construct with לְ expresses purpose or result, hence "to cause to discern." |
