SIBI-P1 Translation H748-16

and you will prolong

Morphological NotesVerb, Hiphil (causative), sequential perfect with waw-consecutive, 2nd person masculine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem conveys causative action, so the sense is "you cause to be long," naturally rendered as "you will prolong." The 2nd person masculine plural is reflected in "you" (plural), and the prefixed conjunction is preserved as "and."
