may you conceal
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, jussive mood, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action—causing something to be concealed or kept hidden. The jussive 2nd masculine singular form is reflected by "may you," preserving both the volitional nuance and the masculine singular address. |
