SIBI-P1 H3205-56
and he caused to be born
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction 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 Rationale | The 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. |
