and he extended forth

| Rendering Rationale | The root ישׁט denotes physical stretching or extending. In the Hiphil stem (causative), it conveys causing something to be stretched or extended; the sequential imperfect 3ms form yields "and he extended forth," preserving both causative nuance and masculine singular subject. |
