SIBI-P1 H5012-09
Prophesy!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, imperative, second person masculine singular (HVNv2ms). The Niphal often carries a reflexive or mediopassive nuance, here functioning as a denominative verb meaning "to act as a prophet" or "to prophesy." |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a Niphal imperative masculine singular, directly commanding one male individual to enter the role or action of a prophet. "Prophesy!" preserves the verbal force of the root נבא (to speak forth under divine inspiration) while reflecting the second person masculine singular imperative addressed to a male hearer. |
