SIBI-P1 Translation G649-25
Send forth!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active imperative, 2nd person singular; a command calling for a single, decisive act of sending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, second person singular, issues a direct command to carry out a decisive act of dispatching. "Send forth" preserves the intensified sense of purposeful commissioning inherent in ἀπο- plus στέλλω. |
