Exegesis
The coordinated nouns veha-avot {וְהָאָבוֹת | wə-hā-ʾā-ḇōt} ‘the fathers’ and veha-banim {וְהַבָּנִים | wə-hab-bā-nîm} ‘and the sons’ joined by the adverb yachdaw {יַחְדָּ֖ו | yaḥ-dāw} ‘together’ broaden the conflict to a generational scope.
In context — Jeremiah 13:14
And I will shatter them, a man against his brother, and the fathers and the sons together, declares the LORD . I will not have compassion , nor will I spare, nor will I have mercy; I will destroy them.
