SIBI-P1 Translation H3190-04

you will make good

Morphological NotesVerb; Hiphil (causative) imperfect; 2nd person feminine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, "to make good" or "to treat well," rather than simply "to be good." The imperfect 2nd feminine singular form is rendered as "you will make good," preserving both causation and person/number/gender.
