Exegesis
A sequence of infinitive absolutes—harog {הָרֹג | hā-rōg} ‘killing,’ veshachot {וְשָׁחֹט | wə-ša-ḥōṭ} ‘and slaughtering,’ akhol {אָכֹל | ʾā-kōl} ‘eating,’ vesatot {וְשָׁתוֹת | wə-šā-ṯōṯ} ‘and drinking’—depicts rapid, unrestrained feast actions.
The Qal imperatives akhol {אָכֹל | ʾā-kōl} ‘eat’ and vesato {וְשָׁתוֹ | wə-šā-ṯō} ‘and drink’ function as a communal slogan.
In context — Isaiah 22:13
And behold, joy and gladness—killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating meat and drinking wine—“Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
