SIBI-P1 Translation H3341-01
he set ablaze
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), perfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so the verb expresses causing something to burn rather than simply burning. The perfect 3ms form is rendered as a completed action by a masculine singular subject: "he set ablaze." |
