Gather!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2ms form calls a masculine singular addressee to perform the simple action of the root אסף. "Gather!" preserves the core sense of collecting or bringing together without narrowing the semantic range. |
