and you defeat them
To strike, hit, or inflict a blow, either physically or figuratively. The verb נָכָה encompasses a range of force, from a simple tap or touch to a severe blow causing harm or death. It is frequently used for actions ranging from causing wounds or physical damage, defeating in battle, killing, or otherwise causing a decisive impact on individuals, groups, and even objects or nations. It can also appear in idiomatic expressions conveying certainty or emphasis (e.g., 'surely,' as an intensifier), or signaling the execution of divine or judicial judgment. The precise force and outcome of the action depend on context, with senses spanning from causing mild injury to enacting capital punishment or military defeat.

and you will strike them
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative/active), sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 2nd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil sequential perfect 2ms form with a 3mp suffix denotes a completed or forthcoming act of causing a blow to them; Hiphil is the standard active/causative stem for this root, here rendered simply as "strike." The plural masculine suffix is preserved as "them." |
