SIBI-P1 H3254-39
he will add further
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) imperfect 3rd masculine singular of יסף. The Hiphil stem often conveys causing or bringing about addition, and in context can function idiomatically to mean "continue" or "do again." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Hiphil imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating that "he" will cause addition or bring about increase. "He will add further" preserves the causative nuance of the Hiphil stem while retaining the core root sense of adding or increasing, and clearly reflects the 3ms subject. |
