Exegesis
This is followed by the sequence of imperatives sovi {סֹבִּי | sôbbî} ‘go around,’ heytivi {הֵיטִיבִי | hêṭîḇî} ‘play well,’ the Piel infinitive naggen {נַגֵּן | naggēn} ‘play music,’ and the compound harbi-shir {הַרְבִּי־שִׁיר | harbî-šîr} ‘make many songs,’ which heightens intensity through the maqqef linkage.
In context — Isaiah 23:16
Take a harp, go around the city, O forgotten harlot , play music well, sing countless songs , so that you may be remembered.
