SIBI-P1 G1210-13
be bound, you all!
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist, middle/passive (deponent/passive form), imperative, 2nd person plural. The aorist imperative conveys a summary or decisive command directed to multiple hearers. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist imperative calls for a decisive or complete action, while the middle/passive form (as marked in the morphology) indicates the subjects are to undergo the binding or place themselves under it. "Be bound, you all!" preserves the core meaning of δέω (to bind) and reflects the second person plural imperative force. |
