Exegesis
The Hifil imperative hacharishi {הַחֲרִישִׁי | hă-ḥă-rî-šî} ‘be silent’ conveys an authoritative command, and the prohibition al-tashiti {אַל־תָּשִׁיתִי | ʾal-tā-šî-tî} ‘do-not-you-set’ directs the addressee’s emotional restraint.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:20
And Absalom, her brother, said to her, “Is it Amnon, your brother, who was with you? Now, my sister, be silent; he is your brother. Do not set your heart on this matter .” So Tamar dwelled in the house of Absalom, her brother.
