SIBI-P1 H1692-26
he will cause to cling fast
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from דבק. The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: "to cause to cling" or "make adhere." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root דבק conveys the idea of sticking or cleaving closely. In the Hiphil stem (causative) with 3rd masculine singular imperfect morphology, the verb expresses that "he" will cause something to cling or adhere, rather than simply cling himself. The rendering preserves both the causative force of Hiphil and the masculine singular subject. |
