Exegesis
The paired imperatives lekh {לֶךְ | lēḵ} ‘go’ and bo {בֹּא | bōʾ} ‘enter’ form a double command, emphasizing urgency to el ha-soken ha-zeh {אֶל־הַסֹּכֵן הַזֶּה | ʾel ha-sōḵēn haz-zê} ‘this steward’.
In context — Isaiah 22:15
Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts : Go, come to this steward , to Shebna who is over the house.
