SIBI-P1 Translation H7392-23
and he made them ride
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, meaning "to cause to ride" or "to mount." The sequential imperfect 3ms with a 3mp suffix yields "and he made them ride," preserving both causation and the masculine plural object. |
