Exegesis
The second imperative ve-hinnave {וְהִנָּבֵ֖א | wə-hin-nā-bēʾ} ‘and prophesy’ (Nifal) introduces the counter-message, with the prepositional phrase aleihen {עֲלֵיהֶֽן | ʿă-lê-hen} ‘against them’ as its object. This syntactic pairing of opposing imperatives underscores the prophet’s role in directly challenging false prophecy.
In context — Ezekiel 13:17
And you, son of man , set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy from their own heart ; and prophesy against them.
