he lengthened
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, perfect (qatal), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, meaning "to make long" or "to cause to be long." As a 3rd person masculine singular perfect, it denotes a completed action: "he lengthened," preserving the root idea of extending duration or spatial extent. |
