SIBI-P1 G3004-04

Lay-forth, you all!

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active imperative; 2nd person plural (Gr,V,MAA2,,P,). The aorist imperative calls for a single, complete act of speaking, addressed to more than one person.
Rendering RationaleThe verb λέγω fundamentally means "to lay forth" words in ordered speech. The aorist active imperative, second person plural, expresses a decisive command directed to multiple hearers, so "Lay-forth, you all!" preserves both the root image and the force of a direct, collective command.
