Cause to fall!

Morphological NotesVerb; Hiphil (causative) stem; imperative; 2nd person masculine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, shifting the root idea of "fall" into "cause to fall" or "bring down." As a 2nd person masculine plural imperative, it issues a direct command to multiple male addressees.
