he will cause to stink
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, so the verb expresses causing something to emit a foul odor or become offensive. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular is rendered as "he will," preserving person, gender, and number. |
