SIBI-P1 H8055-54

he makes her rejoice

Morphological NotesVerb, Piel imperfect 3ms with 3fs pronominal suffix (יְשַׂמְּחֶנָּה) from the root שמח; Piel expresses causative/intensive action.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
