Sit down, you (feminine singular)!

Morphological NotesQal imperative 2nd person feminine singular from יָשַׁב (H3427). The same consonantal form can also represent a feminine singular noun from a different root (שׁבה, "captivity"), but in the verbal morphology listed it functions as a direct command to a female subject.
Rendering RationaleThe form שְׁבִי is a Qal imperative, second person feminine singular, from the root ישב meaning "to sit" or "to dwell." The rendering preserves the concrete root sense of sitting/settling and explicitly reflects that the command is addressed to one female individual.
