SIBI-P1 Translation H8045-12
he annihilated
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, perfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causative action, so the subject actively causes total destruction. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as a completed action: "he annihilated," preserving both causative force and singular masculine subject. |
