you men shall hear and heed

Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine plural from שָׁמַע; indicates incomplete/future or modal action addressed to a masculine plural subject.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal imperfect 2nd person masculine plural form conveys an ongoing or future action addressed to a group of males. "Hear and heed" preserves the root sense of שׁמע as not mere auditory reception but attentive, responsive listening that often implies obedience, while "you men" reflects the masculine plural morphology.
