and rejoice (you feminine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person feminine singular, prefixed conjunction וְ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd feminine singular calls a female addressee to actively experience or express joy. "Rejoice" preserves the root sense of gladness, and the conjunction "and" reflects the prefixed וְ. |
