Exegesis
The imperfect verb techetali {תֶחֱטָא־לִי | te-ḥeṭāʾ-lî} agrees with a feminine subject, and the prepositional phrase lim-al-ma-al {לִמְעָל־מַעַל | li-mə-ʿāl-ma-ʿal} intensifies the betrayal.
In context — Ezekiel 14:13
Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it and break its staff of bread , and send famine into it, and cut off from it both man and beast.
