SIBI-P1 Translation H1272-24
he will drive to flight
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, shifting the root meaning from "to flee" to "cause to flee" or "drive to flight." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular is rendered as "he will," preserving person, number, and gender. |
