Exegesis
The Piel prohibition al-tammer {אַל־תַּמֵּר | ʾal-tammēr} ‘do not rebel’ with bo {בּוֹ | bô} ‘in him’ contrasts with the apodotic imperfect yissa {יִשָּׂא | yissāʾ} ‘he will bear’, framed by the first ki {כִּי | kî} and le-fishakhem {לְפִשְׁעֲכֶם | lə-p̄išʿāḵēm} ‘for your rebellion’, articulating consequence.
