and be moved to speak forth as a prophet!

Rootנבא (n-b-ʾ)
Core Meaningsinspired speech, prophetic utterance, bubbling forth, proclamation under divine impulse
Semantic Rangeto prophesy, to speak under divine inspiration, to declare a message from God, to act as a prophet, to enter prophetic utterance
Conceptual Significanceנבא describes speech arising from divine impulse rather than human initiative. In biblical theology, prophetic speech represents participation in YHWH’s communicative activity, where the speaker becomes a vessel through whom divine will, warning, or promise is expressed.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to Niphal imperative masculine singular (2ms) of נָבָא. Niphal stem conveys reflexive/passive nuance; imperative mood; second person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe Niphal imperative 2ms form הִנָּבֵא carries a reflexive/passive nuance, meaning "be acted upon so as to prophesy" or "let yourself speak forth under inspiration." The rendering preserves this reflexive sense while expressing the imperative addressed to a singular masculine hearer.
