Exegesis
The imperative kitvu {כִּתְבוּ | kit-ḇû} ‘write’ calls for an official record, with et-ha-ish hazzeh {אֶת־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה | ʾet-hā-ʾîš haz-zeh} ‘this man’ as direct object.
In context — Jeremiah 22:30
Thus says the LORD: Write down this man as childless, a man who will not succeed in his days; for none of his descendants will succeed in sitting on the throne of David or ruling any longer in Judah.
