SIBI-P1 Translation H748-16
and you will prolong
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential perfect with waw-consecutive, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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." |
