Send forth!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd person masculine plural calls for a direct command to multiple males to carry out the core action of the root—deliberately dispatching or extending someone or something. "Send forth" preserves the active, outward movement inherent in שלח. |
