SIBI-P1 Translation H914-25
and he set him apart
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential perfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine singular suffix; prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative action, so the verb means "to cause to be separate" or "to set apart." The 3ms subject with a 3ms pronominal suffix yields "he set him apart," and the prefixed conjunction adds "and." |
