Clothe yourself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/decisive action), middle voice (reflexive/self-involving), imperative mood (command), 2nd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb literally means "to throw around," developing into the sense of clothing or wrapping someone with something. The aorist middle imperative, second person singular, calls for a decisive act done with reference to oneself, hence "Clothe yourself." |
