Exegesis
The paired parallels ka-ʾăvōṯê-kem {כַּאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ | ka-ʾăvōṯê-kem} “like your fathers” and wə-ka-ʾḥêê-kem {וְכַ֣אֲחֵיכֶ֔ם | wə-ka-ʾḥêê-kem} “and like your brothers” employ synonymous parallelism for emphasis.
In context — 2 Chronicles 30:7
Do not be like your fathers or your brothers who trespassed against the LORD , the God of their fathers, and He gave them over to desolation , just as you are seeing.
