Exegesis
Lamed infinitive leʾemor {לֵאמֹ֑ר | le-ʾā-mōr} introduces direct speech, leading into the imperative lekhah {לְכָ֖ה | lə-ḵā} ‘come’ and the cohortative nitraʾeh {נִתְרָאֶ֥ה | ni-traʾ-eh} ‘let us meet/confront’, with pānîm {פָנִֽים | pā-nîm} marking a face-to-face encounter. The Hebrew infinitive constructs convey immediacy and inclusivity in the invitation.
