and you shall fasten-shut

Rootנעל (n-ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsfastening, barring, locking, enclosing, shoeing
Semantic Rangeto fasten with a bar, bolt, lock, shut up, enclose; by extension to sandal or shoe (fasten footwear)
Conceptual SignificanceThe act of fastening or locking reflects themes of protection, separation, and secured boundaries in biblical thought—whether securing a door, enclosing a space, or preparing footwear—each implying deliberate control over access and movement.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, vav-consecutive imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular (HC/Vqv2ms). Sequential action: "and you shall..." addressed to a single male subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root נעל conveys the act of fastening or barring something closed. The Qal vav-consecutive imperfect 2ms form expresses a simple active action directed by a masculine singular subject in sequence, hence "and you shall fasten-shut," preserving both the core idea of securing and the grammatical person and number.
