and poured
To pour out, typically referring to the act of pouring (liquid or molten substance) either as an offering (libation), or in metalworking (casting molten metal). The term can extend metaphorically to the act of installing or setting up, especially in ceremonial contexts (such as establishing an image or cultic object). In worship, it primarily connotes pouring out a liquid as a ritual offering, and by extension, can refer to setting in place or dedicating objects in sacred or royal contexts.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5258-08
and he caused to pour out
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נסך centers on pouring out, especially in libation or casting contexts. The Hiphil sequential imperfect 3ms conveys causative action in past narrative sequence, hence "and he caused to pour out," preserving both the causative stem and singular masculine subject. |
