SIBI-P1 H3212-38

Go forth, you (masculine plural)!

Morphological NotesQal stem imperative, 2nd person masculine plural, from the root הלך (to walk/go). The prefixed לְ with suffixed וּ marks the plural imperative form.
Rendering RationaleThe form לְכוּ is a Qal imperative second masculine plural, directly commanding a group of males (or a mixed group grammatically treated as masculine) to move or depart. "Go forth" preserves the core sense of walking or proceeding inherent in the root הלך while clearly reflecting the plural masculine imperative force.
