SIBI-P1 H5197-10
and cause to drip
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to Hiphil imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, from נָטַף. The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: "cause to drip/distil." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נ־ט־ף conveys the idea of dripping or distilling, and figuratively of words flowing forth in inspired speech. The Hiphil stem is causative, and the imperative 2ms form addresses a single masculine hearer, so "and cause to drip" preserves both the root imagery and the masculine singular command. |
