SIBI-P1 H5526-08
and he caused to cover over
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil waw-consecutive imperfect (converted to past narrative), 3rd person masculine singular. Causative stem indicating bringing about a covering or protective action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root סכך conveys the idea of interweaving or screening so as to cover and protect. In the Hiphil stem with waw-consecutive (Vhw3ms), the verb is causative and third masculine singular, thus "he caused to cover over," preserving both the protective nuance of the root and the grammatical form. |
