and I will cause to cut off

Morphological NotesVerb, Hiphil (causative) stem, sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive), 1st person common singular.
Rendering RationaleThe root כרת conveys cutting or severing. In the Hiphil stem it expresses causation, and as a 1st person common singular sequential imperfect it yields "and I will cause to cut off," preserving both causative force and verbal sequence.
