SIBI-P1 Translation H7932-01
he caused to dwell
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Pael (intensive/causative), perfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Pael stem in Aramaic conveys an intensive or causative force, so the perfect 3ms form denotes that he actively caused someone or something to dwell or settle. The rendering preserves both the root idea of dwelling and the causative nuance of the stem. |
