Exegesis
The negative existential construction einenenu shomea {אֵינֶנּוּ שֹׁמֵעַ | ʾê-nen-nû šō-mē-ʿa} ‘he does not obey’, with be-koleinu {בְּקֹלֵנוּ | bə-qō-lē-nû} ‘to our voice’, charges ongoing insubordination.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:20
And they shall say to the elders of his city, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He does not obey our voice . He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
