SIBI-P1 Translation H6958-06
and he caused to vomit
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causation, so the action is not merely vomiting but causing vomiting. The sequential imperfect with prefixed וַ marks a past narrative action by a third masculine singular subject, reflected in "and he caused." |
