let him give
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete action), middle voice, imperative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist imperative conveys a simple, decisive command, while the third person singular expresses a directive concerning another: “let him.” The middle voice reflects personal involvement in the act of giving, which is naturally conveyed in English by the simple imperative form. |
