Exegesis
The additive vegam-ʾat {וְגַם־אַתְּ | wə-gam-ʾat} ‘and also you’ introduces the imperative sheʾi {שְׂאִי | śə-ʾî} ‘bear,’ governing zimmatekh {זִמָּתֵךְ | zimmā-teḵ} and taznutayikh {תַּזְנוּתַיִךְ | taznûtayikh}, which denote moral plotting and cultic unfaithfulness. The repetition of ‘Me’ and ‘you’ emphasizes both divine personhood and human accountability.
