let him observe closely
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), jussive conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of deliberate, attentive looking inherent in שׁוּר. The Qal jussive 3ms form is reflected by "let him," expressing a volitional or potential action rather than a simple statement. |
