Make straight
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperative, 2nd person masculine singular from ישר; causative command addressed to one male. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative force, shifting the root idea from "being straight/upright" to "causing to be straight." As a 2nd masculine singular imperative, it is a direct command to cause something to become straight or upright. |
