vayanichem
and he stationed them
a primitive root; to deposit; by implication, to allow to stay; bestow, cast down, lay (down, up), leave (off), let alone (remain), pacify, place, put, set (down), suffer, withdraw, withhold. (The Hiphil forms with the dagesh are here referred to, in accordance with the older grammarians; but if any distinction of the kind is to be made, these should rather be referred to נוּחַ, and the others here.)

SIBI-P1 H3240-19
and he caused them to rest
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ with waw-consecutive; Hiphil imperfect 3ms of יָנַח; 3mp pronominal suffix (-ם) as direct object, "them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative sense from the root יָנַח, meaning "to set down" or "to rest." The waw-consecutive with 3rd masculine singular subject and 3rd masculine plural suffix yields "and he caused them to rest," preserving both the causative force and the plural object "them." |
