Rise up
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd masculine singular expresses a direct command to a male individual to rise or stand up. "Rise up" preserves the core physical and figurative sense of moving from a lower to a standing or active position inherent in the root קום. |

| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'To rise' is appropriate and contextually fits after 'able'; imperative 'Rise up' is not the right sense in this context, as the reference is to inability, not command. |
