shâkab
and-I-will-make-them-lie-down
To lie down, with the primary sense of reclining or resting, but frequently also as an idiom for sexual union and as a euphemism for death. Schakab is used for a range of physical states from ordinary rest or sleep, to the act of sleeping together (sexual intercourse), and for dying (particularly 'to lie with ancestors' as an idiom for death). Broader usage includes simply lying down for rest, remaining or staying in a certain position, and lodging for the night.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7901-44
and I will cause them to lie down
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential perfect (waw-consecutive), 1st person common singular with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so the action is "cause to lie down" rather than simply "lie down." The 1st person singular sequential perfect with a 3rd masculine plural suffix is preserved as "I will… them," maintaining both subject and object. |
