Common Translation

Phraseand he led them

SIBI-P1 Translation H8582-22

and he caused them to stray

Morphological NotesHiphil sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe 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."
