SIBI-P1 Translation G5312-05
you may lift up
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, second person plural, denotes a simple, undefined action that you (plural) may perform. "Lift up" preserves the core spatial root sense of making high, while allowing for extended figurative elevation. |
