SIBI-P1 G1210-14
bind yourself!
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist middle imperative; 2nd person singular. The aorist gives a simple, decisive command; the middle voice indicates action done with reference to oneself or for one’s own involvement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb δέω fundamentally means "to bind" or "to tie." The form δεήθητι is aorist middle imperative, second person singular, so the rendering "bind yourself!" preserves the command (imperative), the simple/complete aspect of the aorist, and the reflexive or self-involving force of the middle voice. |
