SIBI-P1 `H8055-30`

and you all shall brighten with joy

Morphological Notes	Qal verb, vav-consecutive (waw-conversive) with perfect form, 2nd person masculine plural (HC/Vqq2mp). Active voice; simple stem expressing the subject entering a state of joy.
Rendering Rationale	The root שמח conveys the idea of brightening or becoming glad. Rendering it as "brighten with joy" preserves this imagery rather than using a generic term. The form is Qal with vav-consecutive, second person masculine plural, so "you all shall" reflects the plural addressees and the forward-looking sense.
