and drink, you men
| Root | שתה (sh-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | to drink, to imbibe, to consume liquid, to partake in drinking |
| Semantic Range | to drink water or wine; to feast or banquet; to drink to excess (become drunk); figuratively to partake in an experience (e.g., drink wrath or suffering). |
| Conceptual Significance | Drinking in the Hebrew Bible often signifies fellowship, covenantal celebration, or participation in blessing, but can also symbolize judgment when one "drinks" wrath. Commands to drink frequently occur in communal or covenantal settings, highlighting shared participation. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + Qal imperative 2nd person masculine plural of שתה. The imperative directly commands a group of males; no pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שתה fundamentally means "to drink" or "to imbibe." The form is Qal imperative masculine plural with a prefixed conjunction, addressing multiple males directly; therefore "and drink, you men" preserves both the core action and the masculine plural command inherent in the morphology. |
