SIBI-P1 Translation G5087-35
let us set
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, first person plural—hortatory sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, first person plural, conveys a simple, undefined act urged by the speaker—thus "let us set" as a hortatory expression. "Set" preserves the core sense of causing something to occupy a position or state without narrowing the semantic range. |
