SIBI-P1 H2013-01
Be silent!
| Morphological Notes | Primitive root verb. Occurs as Qal imperative 2nd person masculine singular (HVpv2ms) and as an interjection (HTj). The imperative form directly addresses one male individual; English does not distinguish gender in the second person, but the singular command is preserved. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root הסה conveys the act of hushing or bringing about silence. In the verbal forms (HVpv2ms), it is an imperative addressed to a second person masculine singular, hence the direct singular command "Be silent!" The interjectional uses (HTj) preserve the same force as an immediate call to quiet, reflected naturally in English by the same imperative sense. |
