SIBI-P1 H8248-17

and she caused to drink

Morphological NotesConjunction waw + Hiphil wayyiqtol (preterite) 3rd feminine singular of שקה; causative stem indicating the subject causes another to drink.
Rendering RationaleThe root שקה fundamentally denotes causing someone or something to drink or be watered. In the Hiphil stem it carries a causative sense, and the wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular form indicates a completed past action by a feminine subject, hence "and she caused to drink."
