SIBI-P1 G863-11
Send away!
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/decisive action), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular — a direct command addressed to one person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "Send away!" preserves the core sense of ἀφίημι as a compound meaning "to send off or away." The aorist active imperative, second person singular, expresses a direct and decisive command to one individual to perform the action, which English conveys through the imperative form. |
