SIBI-P1 Translation H8582-22
and he caused them to stray
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, shifting the core idea of wandering into causing others to wander or go astray. The 3ms subject with 3mp suffix is preserved in "he caused them," and the vav-consecutive is reflected by "and." |
