Give!

Rootנתן (n-t-n)
Core Meaningsgiving, placing, setting, granting, delivering, appointing
Semantic Rangeto give, grant, bestow, place, set, appoint, hand over, deliver, allow, cause, make
Conceptual Significanceנתן is a foundational covenantal verb, expressing acts of divine giving (land, law, blessing) and human response (offering, surrender, obedience). As an imperative, it often marks moments of appeal, command, or supplication, highlighting relational exchange between giver and recipient in biblical theology.
Morphological NotesQal imperative 2nd masculine singular of נתן with paragogic ה (energic/heh of exhortation), expressing a direct command or urgent request to a male individual.
Rendering RationaleThe form תְּנָה is a Qal imperative, second person masculine singular, from the root נתן (“to give, place, set”). The rendering “Give!” preserves the direct, active sense of the root in the simple (Qal) stem and reflects the masculine singular imperative addressed to one male hearer; the paragogic ה adds urgency or emphasis without changing person or number.
