Exegesis
The second imperative tenehû {תְּנֵהוּ | tənēhû} reinforces the request, and the nifal imperfect ve-te’atzar {וְתֵעָצַר | wəṯēʿāṣar} conveys the intended result of restraining the plague ha-magefa {הַמַּגֵּפָה | hammaggēp̄āh} from upon the people ha-am {הָעָם | hāʿām}. English syntax preserves the Hebrew’s sequence of volition, purpose, and outcome.
