γενηθήτω
gínomai
let-it-be-done
to become, to come into being, to happen; primarily denotes the process of transition from one state to another, the coming into existence or reality of something that was not previously so. In various contexts, it can also mean to occur, take place, arise, develop, or change; sometimes serves as a circumlocution for 'to be' when indicating the process or result of becoming, rather than simple existence. Used of events, states, and sometimes of persons or things coming to be in a particular role or status.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1096-43
let it come into being
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/decisive aspect), passive voice (intransitive in force), imperative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist imperative expresses a decisive command for something to come into existence. Though morphologically passive, γίνομαι functions intransitively here, denoting the event of coming into being rather than being acted upon by an external agent. |
