SIBI-P1 Translation H5234-19
and he recognized
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative); sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses a causative or active recognition—bringing something into distinct awareness. The sequential imperfect (3ms) conveys a past narrative action, hence "and he recognized," preserving both stem force and morphology. |
