SIBI-P1 Translation G659-06
let us lay aside
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete action), middle voice (self-involving), subjunctive mood, first person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist subjunctive first person plural expresses a collective, decisive action (“let us…”). The middle voice conveys personal involvement in setting something away from oneself, hence “lay aside” preserves the root sense of placing away from oneself. |
