SIBI-P1 Translation H3276-09
they will benefit you
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural + 2nd person feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative sense, "to cause benefit" or "to make useful." The imperfect 3rd masculine plural with a 2nd feminine singular suffix yields "they will benefit you," addressing a female singular. |
