SIBI-P1 Translation H7912-08
you will cause to discover
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Aramaic Haphel (causative) stem; imperfect; 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Haphel (causative) stem shifts the simple sense "to find/discover" into a causative action, hence "cause to discover." The imperfect 2ms form is rendered as "you will," preserving person, gender, and number. |
