SIBI-P1 H2244-20
and she concealed
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ with Hiphil waw-consecutive imperfect, 3rd feminine singular (Vhw3fs) from חבא. The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: "to cause to hide" or "to conceal." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root חבא, meaning to hide or secrete. In the Hiphil stem it carries a causative nuance, "to cause to be hidden," hence "to conceal." The form is waw-consecutive imperfect 3rd feminine singular, rightly rendered "and she concealed," preserving both the narrative past sense and feminine subject. |
