SIBI-P1 Translation G1746-09
you may clothe yourselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), middle voice (reflexive/self-involved), subjunctive mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist subjunctive expresses a simple, undefined act, and the middle voice highlights self-involvement or reflexive action. "Clothe yourselves" preserves the root sense of entering into garments while reflecting the second person plural form. |
