Exegesis
The imperative lə-kāh {לְכָה֙ | lə-kāh} ‘come’ and cohortative wən-naʿbērā {וְנַעְבְּרָ֗ה | wən-naʿbērā} ‘let us cross over’ create a call to action.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:6
And Jonathan said to the young man bearing his armor, “Come, let us cross over to the outpost of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work for us, for no restraint can prevent Him from saving by many or by few.”
