SIBI-P1 Translation H6680-12
you men shall command them
| Morphological Notes | Piel imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the act of authoritative ordering, so "command" reflects the strong directive force. The imperfect 2nd masculine plural with 3rd masculine plural suffix is preserved as "you men" and "them." |
