and know
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine plural, with prefixed conjunction ו ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense "to know" or "to perceive." As a 2nd person masculine plural imperative with prefixed conjunction ו, it is rendered as a direct command addressed to multiple males, preserving the coordinating "and." |
