Exegesis
The prohibitive clause al-yashshi lakhem {אַל־יַשִּׁיא לָכֶם | ’al-yaš-šîʾ la-khem} combines the negative particle with the Hiphil imperfect of nasha {נָשָׁא | nā-šāʾ} ‘to deceive’ to form a causative negative imperative.
In context — 2 Kings 18:29
Thus says the king , “Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you from his hand.”
