Exegesis
The jussive expression vi-hi-na de-varekha ke-akhad mehem {וִיהִי־נָא דְבָרְךָ כְּאַחַד מֵהֶם | wî·hī·nā də·wā·re·kā kə·ʾă·ḥăḏ mê·hem} ‘and please let your word be like one of them’ issues a polite request, while ve-dibarta tov {וְדִבַּרְתָּ טּוֹב | wə·dib·bâr·tā tōv} ‘and you shall speak good’ urges conformity. The Hebrew sequence—from topic identification to unanimous declaration to entreaty—structures the messenger’s persuasive appeal.
