SIBI-P1 H553-20
and be firm-strong
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + Qal waw-consecutive imperfect, 2nd masculine singular. Active stem expressing becoming strong or resolute; addressed to one male individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אמץ conveys firmness and strengthening in resolve or courage. The Qal waw-consecutive 2ms form functions as a direct exhortation to a single male addressee, so "be firm-strong" preserves the active sense of becoming strong while reflecting the masculine singular command introduced by "and." |
