and he caused to ride
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so the action is not merely riding but causing someone or something to ride or be mounted. The sequential imperfect 3ms form is reflected by "and he," preserving the narrative verbal sequence and masculine singular subject. |
