Gird yourselves

Morphological NotesHithpael imperative, 2nd person masculine plural from אזר; reflexive stem indicating self-girding or self-equipping.
Rendering RationaleThe Hithpael stem expresses reflexive action, and the imperative 2nd masculine plural calls a group of males to act upon themselves. "Gird yourselves" preserves the root sense of binding on equipment and reflects the reflexive, plural command form.
