ya.saph marks an added amount or a further occurrence, whether something is increased or done again.

The attested uses chiefly mark a further occurrence or continuation of an action, including actions said to happen again or no longer happen again. They also express an addition to an existing amount, such as years, cities, a yoke, wisdom, or guilt.

1. Further action or repeated occurrence · dominant

   The term marks an event as occurring further or again: in 1 Samuel 3:6 the sequential imperfect accompanies the LORD's calling of Samuel again, and in 2 Samuel 5:22 it accompanies the Philistines' further advance into the valley. It can also frame continuation or its cessation: in 1 Samuel 3:21 the APB renders the clause "The LORD continued to appear," while 1 Samuel 27:4 reports that Saul no longer sought David.

2. Adding to an existing amount or condition · common

   Hiphil forms occur where something is added to what is already present. In 2 Kings 20:6 the APB renders an addition of fifteen years to the recipient's days; in 1 Kings 12:11 the speaker says he will add to the people's yoke; and in Deuteronomy 19:9 three cities are added to three already named. The same construction can concern guilt or knowledge, as 2 Chronicles 28:13 speaks of adding to sins and guilt and Ecclesiastes 1:18 links increased knowledge with increased sorrow.

   2 Kings 20:61 Kings 12:11Deuteronomy 19:92 Chronicles 28:13Ecclesiastes 1:181 Chronicles 22:14

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB variously uses "again," "continued," "no longer," "add," and "increases." These render the clauses' overall movement from an existing action or amount to a further one, rather than providing a fixed word-for-word equivalent.
