SIBI-P1 H3205-55

and he caused to be born

Rootילד (y-l-d)
Core Meaningsbirth, bearing, bringing forth, begetting, lineage
Semantic Rangeto bear (of a woman), to beget (of a man), to give birth, to bring forth, to act as midwife, to show lineage, to declare descent
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb is central to biblical genealogies, where covenant promises and tribal identities are traced through lines of descent. In its Hiphil form, it emphasizes paternal agency in establishing lineage, underscoring themes of inheritance, covenant continuity, and the unfolding of redemptive history through generations.
Morphological NotesConjunction וַ (waw-consecutive) + Hiphil wayyiqtol (preterite) 3ms from ילד. The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: "to cause to bear/be born," commonly used of a father begetting a child in genealogical sequences.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Hiphil wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, expressing a causative action in past narrative sequence. Rather than simply "he was born" (passive) or "he bore" (which can imply a mother), the Hiphil form conveys that the male subject caused offspring to be born—hence, "and he caused to be born," preserving both the causative stem and masculine singular subject.
