may you reject
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, jussive mood, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of willful rejection inherent in the root מאס. The jussive 2nd masculine singular is reflected by "may you," expressing a volitional or desired action directed to a masculine singular subject. |
