SIBI-P1 G4095-16

let him be drinking

Rootπίνω (pinō)
Core Meaningsdrink, imbibe, take in liquid, partake
Semantic Rangeto drink liquid; to imbibe; to partake of a cup; figuratively, to experience or undergo (e.g., wrath, suffering); to receive inwardly
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, "drinking" can signify not only physical nourishment but also participation—whether in blessing (e.g., living water, covenant cup) or in judgment (drinking the cup of wrath). The imperative form often marks an invitation or command to partake, carrying covenantal or experiential overtones.
Morphological NotesVerb; present tense; active voice; imperative mood; 3rd person singular (Gr,V,MPA3,,S,). The present imperative typically conveys continuous or habitual action rather than a single completed act.
Rendering RationaleThe present active imperative, third person singular, expresses an ongoing or continuous command directed toward "him." Rendering it as "let him be drinking" preserves the imperative force, the third-person singular subject, and the present tense’s aspect of continued or repeated action.
