you men shall tear down

Morphological NotesQal imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural, with paragogic nun (energic ending). Simple active voice addressing a group of males: "you (mp) will/shall tear down."
Rendering RationaleThe root נתץ conveys the forceful act of demolishing or tearing structures apart. Rendering it as "tear down" preserves the physical and often covenantal sense of dismantling. The form is Qal imperfect 2nd masculine plural, so "you men shall" reflects both the simple active stem and the masculine plural addressees.
