SIBI-P1 Translation G853-01
be made unseen
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete action), passive voice, imperative mood, 2nd person plural — a command for the group to undergo being made unseen. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive imperative, second person plural, calls for a command directed to a group to undergo the action. "Be made unseen" preserves the passive force and reflects the root sense of being rendered invisible or caused to disappear. |
