to cause to dispossess
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, infinitive construct with prefixed לְ |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root ירשׁ, indicating causing someone to take possession or causing another to lose possession. "To cause to dispossess" preserves both the causative morphology and the root’s emphasis on possession through displacement. |
