SIBI-P1 H7126-49
and he caused to draw near
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ plus Hiphil wayyiqtol (converted imperfect) 3rd person masculine singular of קרב. The Hiphil stem expresses causation; the waw consecutive advances narrative sequence as "and he…". |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קרב conveys the idea of nearness or approaching. In the Hiphil stem it is causative, meaning "to cause to draw near" or "to bring near." The form is a waw-consecutive (wayyiqtol) 3rd person masculine singular, hence "and he caused to draw near," preserving both the causative force and the masculine singular subject. |
