and speak!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem of דבר expresses active, deliberate speech or declaration. As a 2nd person masculine singular imperative with prefixed conjunction וְ, it is best rendered as a direct command: "and speak!" preserving both the verbal force and conjunction. |
