to perform organized service
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל indicating purpose or result ("to …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל expresses simple active action: "to perform." The rendering preserves the root idea of going out in an organized host or undertaking collective duty, not merely generic fighting. |
