and you shall take

Morphological NotesQal perfect 2ms with prefixed conjunction וְ (waw-consecutive), converting the perfect to a future/sequential sense; addressed to a single male subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root לקח conveys the act of taking, grasping, or receiving. The form is Qal perfect 2nd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ functioning as a waw-consecutive, giving it a future or sequential sense. "And you shall take" preserves the simple active force of the Qal stem and clearly reflects the masculine singular addressee.
