and they caused to add
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יסף denotes adding or increasing. In the Hiphil sequential imperfect 3rd masculine plural, it carries a causative sense, thus "they caused to add," preserving both the augmenting idea of the root and the causative stem. |
