SIBI-P1 H6680-15
You (masculine singular), lay a charge!
| Root | צוה (ts-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | to command, to lay a charge, to appoint, to set in order, to commission |
| Semantic Range | to command, commission, appoint, ordain, give orders, instruct authoritatively, set in order |
| Conceptual Significance | צוה is central to covenantal and legal contexts, expressing authoritative instruction often from YHWH to leaders or from leaders to the people. It underscores the ordered structure of divine command and human obedience within Israel’s covenant life. |
| Morphological Notes | Piel imperative, 2nd person masculine singular (HVpv2ms). The Piel stem intensifies the action, conveying the force of issuing or imposing a command. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root צוה carries the sense of laying an authoritative charge or commission upon someone. Rendering it as "lay a charge" preserves the core idea of imposing an ordered command, and the explicit "You (masculine singular)" reflects the Piel imperative 2ms morphology, addressing one male individual directly. |
