2. to silence, cause to be still (Hifil causative) — Hifil causative verbal form meaning 'to silence someone, to cause to be quiet,' describing an active agent bringing about silence in others (Neh 8:11). Translated as English 'and silenced,' Spanish 'y calmo,' Hindi 'aur chup karaya' (और चुप कराया), Arabic 'wa-sakkata' (وَسَكَّتَ), Korean 'geurigo jamjamhage haetda' (그리고 잠잠하게 했다), Swahili 'na akawanyamazisha.' Distinct from the interjection because it is a Hifil verb form with a causative agent acting upon others. 1×
