Bind them fast
| Root | קשר (q-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | to tie, bind, fasten, join together, conspire |
| Semantic Range | to tie physically, to bind or fasten securely, to join together, to conspire or form a league, to knit or compact |
| Conceptual Significance | The root קשר often expresses both physical binding and relational or political alliance, including conspiracy. It can symbolize covenantal joining, treachery, or the act of securing something firmly—whether objects, loyalties, or intentions. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperative, 2nd masculine singular, with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (“them”). The Qal stem conveys the simple active sense of tying or binding. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core root sense of tying or fastening (קשר) by using "bind." The imperative form reflects a direct command to a masculine singular addressee (2ms), and "them" accurately represents the third masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
