SIBI-P1 H7235-59
And I will cause to become many
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + Hiphil imperfect 1cs of רבה. Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: "I will cause to increase/multiply." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root רבה conveys the idea of becoming many or increasing in number or magnitude. This form is Hiphil imperfect 1st person common singular with prefixed conjunction, so the causative nuance is preserved with "cause to become many," and the 1cs subject is reflected in "I will," while "And" represents the prefixed וְ. |
