SIBI-P1 Translation H8055-55
they cause to rejoice
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys an intensive or causative action of producing joy, rather than merely experiencing it. The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form is reflected by "they" and the verbal sense "cause to rejoice." |
