separate yourself!

Rootפרד (p-r-d)
Core Meaningsseparation, division, dispersal, parting, breaking apart
Semantic Rangeto separate oneself, to be separated, to part from, to divide, to disperse, to break apart relationally or spatially
Conceptual SignificanceThe root often marks physical, relational, or covenantal separation—whether of peoples, territories, or kin. In biblical theology, separation can signify both judgment (dispersion) and holiness (setting apart from what defiles).
Morphological NotesVerb, Niphal stem. Attested here as 2nd person masculine singular imperative ("be separated" / "separate yourself") and as a Niphal infinitive construct ("to separate oneself"). The Niphal stem gives a reflexive or passive nuance to the root idea of division.
Rendering RationaleThe root פרד conveys the idea of breaking apart or separating. In the Niphal stem, the verb carries a reflexive or passive sense, here best rendered reflexively as "separate yourself." The morphology (2nd person masculine singular imperative) is preserved in the direct command addressed to one male individual.
