Sit!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd feminine singular form calls a female addressee to perform the basic root action of יָשַׁב, whose core sense is to sit or settle oneself. "Sit!" preserves the concrete root meaning without importing contextual nuance. |
