make it good!

Morphological Notes	Hiphil imperative, masculine singular, 2nd person. The Hiphil stem conveys causative force: "cause to be good/well." Though often used adverbially in context, its form is a direct command.
Rendering Rationale	The form הֵיטֵב is Hiphil imperative masculine singular from יטב, expressing a causative command: to cause something to be good or well. "Make it good!" preserves the root idea of goodness and reflects the second-person masculine singular imperative in the causative stem.
