SIBI-P1 Translation H6965-50
Rise up
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd masculine singular calls a male addressee to perform the simple action of rising or standing up. "Rise up" preserves the core physical sense of the root קום while allowing for its broader figurative extensions of taking initiative or standing in readiness. |
