Exegesis

The Hiphil imperative hotsi'em {הוֹצִיאֵם | hōṣîʾēm} (‘bring them out’) conveys coercive force, and the cohortative venede'ah {וְנֵדְעָה | wə-nēḏʿāh} (‘let us know’) expresses the mob’s intention to achieve sexual domination.

In contextGenesis 19:5

They called to Lot and asked, “Where are the men who came to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.”
