and he made them upright
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel (intensive/causative), sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem gives an intensive/causative force to the root "to be straight/upright," yielding "to make upright" or "set straight." The sequential imperfect 3ms with 3mp suffix is preserved as "and he" plus "them." |
