SIBI-P1 H8055-54
he makes her rejoice
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel imperfect 3ms with 3fs pronominal suffix (יְשַׂמְּחֶנָּה) from the root שמח; Piel expresses causative/intensive action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Piel imperfect 3rd masculine singular with a 3rd feminine singular suffix, indicating "he" as the subject acting intensively/causatively upon "her." The Piel stem conveys causing or intensifying joy, so "he makes her rejoice" preserves both the causative force of the stem and the feminine singular object. |
