Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the root sense “to drink, imbibe.” The form is second person plural aorist, appearing as active subjunctive (“you might drink,” expressing potential or intended action) and as middle imperative (“drink for yourselves!” expressing a decisive command with self-involvement). The aorist aspect reflects a simple, complete act of drinking.
