Exegesis
The imperfect tefateh {תְּפַתֶּה | təpattēh} ‘you shall entice’ conveys purpose, followed by vegamtukhal {וְגַם־תּוּכָ֔ל | wə-gam-tûḵāl} ‘and also you are able,’ which affirms capability, leading to the coordinated imperatives tze {צֵא | ṣēʼ} ‘go out’ and vaaseh-ken {וַעֲשֵׂה־כֵן | wa-ʿăśeh-kên} ‘do so’ combining permission and command.
