and they caused to turn aside

Morphological NotesVerb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem conveys a causative action: causing something or someone to stretch, incline, or turn. The sequential imperfect 3rd masculine plural form is reflected by "and they caused," preserving both the causative force and plural subject.
