SIBI-P1 H7812-37
he causes her to bow herself down
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect 3rd masculine singular with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; causative action performed by 'he' upon 'her.' |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שחה conveys the act of bowing or prostrating oneself in homage or worship. The Hiphil stem (causative) with a 3rd masculine singular subject and 3rd feminine singular suffix indicates that 'he' causes 'her' to perform the act of bowing, hence 'he causes her to bow herself down.' |
