| Phrase | they destroyed them |
SIBI-P1 Translation H8045-17
they annihilated them
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect, 3rd person common plural + 3rd person masculine plural suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action—causing destruction or extermination. The perfect 3rd person plural with 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "they annihilated them," preserving both the causative force and the plural object. |
