they caused to discern
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; perfect; 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem is causative, so rather than simply "they understood" (Qal), the form means they caused others to understand or discern. "Caused to discern" preserves the root sense of making distinctions and reflects the causative perfect 3rd person plural form. |
