Exegesis
The paired imperatives lechu {לְכוּ | lə-ḵū} ‘go’ and the Hifil imperfect ve-hotsetiha {וְהוֹצֵתֵ֨הָ | wə-hō-ṣe-tê-hā} ‘you shall set it on fire’, reinforced by the Hifil perfect ve-ha-tsituha {וְהַצִּית֣וּהָ | wə-hat-tsi-tû-hā}, express a purposeful causation.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:30
And he said to his servants, “Look, Joab’s field is next to mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.
