and brings down
To go down, descend, or move from a higher to a lower position, either physically (such as descending a mountain, moving from inland to the coast, or traveling to a region of lesser elevation) or metaphorically (such as a decline in status or fortune). The term also extends to causing something or someone to move downward or to a lower status, including bringing, leading, or letting down. It is used for descending geographically, as when traveling from the central highlands of ancient Israel to the coastal plain, or for entering lower regions such as Egypt—which was often described as 'going down' due to its geographic position relative to the land of Israel.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3381-48
and the one who brings down
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). Causative stem indicating causing descent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ירד denotes downward movement; in Hiphil it carries a causative sense, "to bring down" or "cause to descend." As a masculine singular active participle, it is best rendered as a verbal adjective: "the one who brings down," with the prefixed conjunction וּ as "and." |
