Exegesis
The repetition of at {עַת | ʿat} and attah {עַתָּ֛ה | ʿat-tāh} intensifies temporal immediacy, and vahi {וָהִֽיא | wâ-hîʾ} resumes the subject to emphasize her ongoing participation. This structure conveys incredulity and lament over persistent unfaithfulness.
In context — Ezekiel 23:43
And I said to the woman grown old in adulteries , “At this time will they commit adulteries with her prostitution , and she with them?”
