Expend!

Rootδαπανάω (dapanáō)
Core Meaningsto expend, to spend, to incur cost, to consume, to use up, to waste
Semantic Rangeto spend money, to incur expenses, to devote resources, to consume or use up, in some contexts to squander or waste
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, δαπανάω can describe both responsible expenditure for others and wasteful consumption. It often carries implications of stewardship, generosity, or self-giving, highlighting the moral dimension of how one uses material or personal resources.
Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active imperative, 2nd person singular (Gr,V,MAA2,,S,). The aorist imperative expresses a simple, decisive command; active voice indicates the subject performs the action.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "Expend!" preserves the core idea of δαπανάω as the act of spending or laying out resources. The aorist active imperative (2nd person singular) conveys a direct, decisive command to carry out the action fully, which is reflected in the concise imperative form in English.
