Give
To give, offer, bestow, or present; used primarily in commands, requests, or invitations to transfer or provide something, whether tangibly (such as an object or resource) or less concretely (such as honor or attention). Often found in imperative forms, invoking a sense of entreaty ('give!' or 'grant!'). In rare cases, the word appears as an interjection or invitation ('come!' or 'come now!'), and can be used figuratively (e.g., to ascribe something, such as glory, to someone).

SIBI-P1 Translation H3051-04
Give, you all!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative form calls for a direct command rooted in the basic sense "to give" or "to bestow." The 2nd person masculine plural is reflected by "you all," preserving the plural addressees inherent in the Hebrew form. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
give
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Omitted the exclamation and address for a more natural imperative aligning with the Hebrew, which is a second-person plural imperative; context does not require 'you all!'. |
