SIBI-P1 `H631-08`

Bind!

Morphological Notes	Qal verb, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular; a direct command to a single male addressee.
Rendering Rationale	The root אסר carries the core idea of binding or fastening. In the Qal stem it expresses the simple act of binding, and the morphology (Qal imperative, 2nd masculine singular) calls for a direct command addressed to one male individual, hence the concise imperative “Bind!”
