SIBI-P1 H7993-44

and he hurled down

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + Hiphil perfect, 3rd person masculine singular, from שָׁלַךְ. The Hiphil stem gives a causative or forceful nuance to the action of throwing.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem conveys a causative or forceful action, intensifying the sense of deliberate casting. "And he hurled down" preserves the dynamic force of the root שלך (to throw or cast) while accurately reflecting the third person masculine singular perfect form with prefixed conjunction ("and he").
