SIBI-P1 Translation H8055-23
he gladdened him
| Morphological Notes | Piel perfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys an intensive or causative sense, indicating causing joy rather than merely experiencing it. The perfect 3ms form with a 3ms suffix yields "he gladdened him," preserving both causation and the masculine singular object. |
