SIBI-P1 Translation H3803-05
they will encircle
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem; imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action built on the root idea of encircling; in English this is naturally expressed with the transitive "encircle." The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural is reflected as "they will encircle." |
