the poor
To be impoverished, to be or become poor, to experience lack or deprivation, particularly in material or economic resources; also used to indicate the state of a person lacking in means or reduced to a condition of dependence. The root often conveys not merely the presence of financial want, but a pressing, ongoing condition of need, especially as a social or economic status within the community.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7326-05
Become impoverished
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular; simple active command. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2ms expresses a direct command to enter a state of poverty. "Become impoverished" preserves the verbal force of the root רושׁ as a process of being reduced to economic destitution rather than merely describing a static condition. |
