Exegesis
The final Hiphil imperative hā-šî-vū pə-nê-kem {הָשִׁיבוּ פְנֵיכֶם | hā-šî-vū pə-nê-kem} metaphorically depicts turning one’s face away, underscoring decisive moral separation.
In context — Ezekiel 14:6
Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD : Return and turn back from your idols , and from all your abominations turn your faces away.’
