Exegesis
The prepositional phrase el-bêṯ-yiś-rā-ʾêl {אֶל־בֵּ֖ית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ʾel-bêṯ-yiś-rā-ʾêl} specifies the corporate audience. Hebrew employs a minimal connective style with fronted imperatives for emphasis, while the English preserves the dual command and clarifies the recipient.
In context — Ezekiel 17:2
Son of man , pose a riddle and speak a parable to the house of Israel.
