SIBI-P1 Translation H5324-23
and was set upright
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hophal (causative passive), perfect, 3rd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hophal stem expresses a causative passive action—something was caused to stand or be positioned. "Was set upright" preserves the root idea of standing in a fixed, established position while reflecting the perfect 3ms form with prefixed conjunction. |
