Exegesis
The imperative-intensifier sequence bekhu bako {בְּכ֤וּ בָכוֹ֙ | bə-kû bā-kô} ‘weep, surely weep’ combines a Qal imperative and a Qal infinitive absolute to emphasize the call to mourn intensely.
In context — Jeremiah 22:10
Do not weep for the dead, nor lament for him; but weep bitterly for the one going away , for he will not return again nor see his native land .
