Exegesis
The infinitive construct lēʾemor {לֵאמֹ֑ר | lē-ʾə-môr} introduces direct speech, and the juxtaposition of the imperative lekha {לְכָ֥ה | lə-ḵā} ‘come’ with the Nifal cohortative nitrāʾeh {נִתְרָאֶ֥ה | nir-rā-ʾeh} ‘let us meet’ alongside panim {פָנִֽים | pā-nîm} ‘faces’ forms an invitation to mutual confrontation, reflecting a paratactic parallel structure.
