may you be astonished
| Morphological Notes | Qal verb, jussive conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular; intransitive/stative sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys a simple stative sense of becoming or being astonished. The 2nd person masculine singular jussive expresses a volitional nuance, hence "may you be astonished," preserving both root meaning and grammatical form. |
