and cause to drip

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to Hiphil imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, from נָטַף. The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: "cause to drip/distil."
Rendering RationaleThe root נ־ט־ף conveys the idea of dripping or distilling, and figuratively of words flowing forth in inspired speech. The Hiphil stem is causative, and the imperative 2ms form addresses a single masculine hearer, so "and cause to drip" preserves both the root imagery and the masculine singular command.
