SIBI-P1 Translation H6-41
you will cause to perish
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative), imperfect conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem gives a causative-intensive force to the root "to perish," yielding "to cause to perish" or "to bring to ruin." The imperfect 2nd person masculine singular is rendered as "you will," preserving person and number. |
