Cause to incline
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperative, 2nd person masculine singular from נטה; causative command addressed to one male. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative force, indicating that the subject is to cause something to stretch, bend, or turn. "Cause to incline" preserves the root sense of directional extension or bending while reflecting the imperative command to a masculine singular addressee. |
