and-I-will-bring-down-them
To go down, descend, or move from a higher to a lower position, either physically (such as descending a mountain, moving from inland to the coast, or traveling to a region of lesser elevation) or metaphorically (such as a decline in status or fortune). The term also extends to causing something or someone to move downward or to a lower status, including bringing, leading, or letting down. It is used for descending geographically, as when traveling from the central highlands of ancient Israel to the coastal plain, or for entering lower regions such as Egypt—which was often described as 'going down' due to its geographic position relative to the land of Israel.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3381-71
and I brought them down
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) perfect, 1st person common singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, shifting from "go down" to "bring down" or "cause to descend." The 1st person singular perfect with 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "I brought them down," and the prefixed conjunction adds "and." |
