Exegesis
The Hifil cohortative nashkennu {נַשְׁקֶנּוּ | naš-qen-nû} “let us make him drink” outlines their plan into hallaylah {הַלַּיְלָה | ha-lay-lāh}, followed by imperatives uvo'i {וּבֹאִי | û-ḇō-ʾî} “go in” and shikhvi {שִׁכְבִי | šiḵ-bî} “lie down” directing immo {עִמּוֹ | ʿim-mô}.
In context — Genesis 19:34
And it happened on the next day that the older said to the younger, “Behold, I lay with my father last night. Let us make him drink wine also tonight, and you go in and lie with him, and we will preserve offspring from our father.”
