and he will make strong
To be strong, mighty, or powerful; to excel in strength, to have the upper hand, to overcome or prevail.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1396-08
and he made strong
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative); sequential perfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root גבר ('to be strong, to prevail'), yielding 'to cause to be strong' or 'to make strong.' The sequential perfect with prefixed וְ indicates a past narrative sequence, hence 'and he made strong.' |
