SIBI-P1 Translation H3474-15
may they make straight
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) jussive, 3rd person masculine plural from יָשַׁר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, shifting the root idea from 'be straight/upright' to 'make straight' or 'lead aright.' The 3rd person masculine plural jussive is reflected by 'may they,' preserving both causation and number. |
