SIBI-P1 Translation H3254-17
and he added further
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil stem (causative), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative or active augmentation—causing increase or continuation—while the sequential imperfect 3ms indicates a past narrative action by a masculine singular subject. "And he added further" preserves both the augmenting sense of the root and the verbal force. |
