and he begot
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense of the root ילד, here expressing that a male subject caused offspring to be born—i.e., begot. The 3rd person masculine singular sequential perfect is reflected in "and he begot." |
