Exegesis
The second clause uses ʾal {אַל | ʾal} ‘do not’ and tāšet {תָּשֶׁת | tāšet} ‘you shall put’ plus yāḏəkʰā {יָדְךָ | yāḏəkʰā} ‘your hand’ and the prepositional phrase ʿim rāšāʿ {עִם־רָשָׁע | ʿim rāšāʿ} ‘with a wicked person’ to forbid complicity.
In context — Exodus 23:1
You must not carry a false report ; do not put your hand with a wicked person to be a violent witness.
