SIBI-P1 G2476-45
take your stand!
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active imperative; 2nd person singular (Gr,V,MAA2,,S,). The aorist imperative emphasizes a decisive or complete action rather than an ongoing process. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, second person singular, calls for a decisive, single act: the hearer is commanded to stand or set himself firmly in place. "Take your stand!" preserves the core idea of ἵστημι (to stand/set) while reflecting the forceful, punctiliar command directed to one individual. |
