defile-yourselves
To be or become ritually unclean (impure), to be in a state of impurity, or to render someone or something ritually impure. The verb conveys entrance into a state that restricts participation in certain Israelite cultic practices or contact with holy objects and spaces, primarily due to physical contact with substances, persons, or situations regarded as sources of impurity. In additional contexts, the verb can be used for actions that render someone or something morally unacceptable or abominable, but the primary focus is ritual status.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2930-29
you will defile yourselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hithpael (reflexive), imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem conveys reflexive action, indicating that the subject acts upon himself; the imperfect 2nd person masculine plural form yields “you (masc. pl.) will defile yourselves,” preserving both reflexive nuance and future/incomplete aspect. |
