SIBI-P1 Translation H2324-03
to cause to declare
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Haphel (causative) stem, infinitive construct with prefixed לְ indicating purpose or result. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חוה in Biblical Aramaic denotes declaring or revealing hidden information. The Haphel stem is causative, and the infinitive construct with prefixed לְ indicates purpose, thus "to cause to declare" preserves both the root meaning and causative morphology. |
