and shut!

Rootסגר (s-g-r)
Core Meaningsto shut, close, enclose, confine, hand over, surrender
Semantic Rangeto shut or close physically (doors, gates), to confine or imprison, to enclose or encircle, to hand over or surrender into another’s power.
Conceptual Significanceסגר often marks decisive acts of separation—shutting people in or out, delivering someone into another’s authority, or enclosing space. Theologically, it can signify divine judgment (handing over to enemies) or protection (shutting in for safety), underscoring YHWH’s control over boundaries and destinies.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + Qal imperative 2nd masculine singular of סגר; simple active stem expressing a direct command to a singular male subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root סגר conveys the act of shutting, enclosing, or handing over. The form וּסְגֹר is a Qal imperative masculine singular with prefixed conjunction, so the rendering "and shut!" preserves the direct command addressed to one male individual while maintaining the root idea of closing or enclosing.
