SIBI-P1 H3240-05

he caused to rest

Morphological NotesHiphil verb, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd masculine singular. The Hiphil stem gives a causative nuance: to cause to rest, set down, or leave in place.
Rendering RationaleThe root יָנַח carries the sense of causing something to rest, settle, or be deposited. In the Hiphil stem it is causative, and the morphology (perfect 3rd masculine singular) requires the rendering "he caused to rest," preserving both the causative force and the masculine singular subject.
