Exegesis
The imperative tənû-lî ʾîš {תְּנוּ־לִ֣י אִישׁ | tənû-lî ʾîš} issues a direct challenge, and the cohortative nifal wənillāḥămah yāḥaḏ {וְנִלָּחֲמָה יָֽחַד | wənillāḥămah yāḥaḏ} proposes single combat. The sequence builds tension toward a head-to-head confrontation.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:10
And the Philistine said, “I have defied the battle lines of Israel this day. Give me a man, and let us fight together .”
