and she caused to remain

Morphological NotesVerb, Hiphil (causative) stem, sequential imperfect (waw-consecutive), 3rd person feminine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem conveys a causative sense, so the action is not merely remaining but causing something to remain or be left over. The 3rd person feminine singular sequential imperfect is reflected in "and she caused," preserving both gender and verbal force.
