SIBI-P1 Translation H6965-80
he raised up
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative sense of the root קום, meaning "to cause to rise" or "to establish." The 3rd person masculine singular sequential imperfect form is rendered as a past narrative action, hence "he raised up." |
