She caused to fall
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) perfect, 3rd person feminine singular verb. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root נפל (“to fall”), and the perfect 3rd feminine singular form indicates a completed action by a feminine subject. "She caused to fall" preserves both the causative force and the core idea of falling. |
