SIBI-P1 Translation H4305-06
she will send rain
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 3rd person feminine singular of מטר; causative action in incomplete (imperfect) aspect. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so the verb expresses causing rain to fall rather than merely raining. The imperfect 3rd feminine singular form is reflected by "she will," preserving both gender and verbal aspect. |
