Exegesis
The Hiphil infinitive construct lehashkiakh {לְהַשְׁכִּ֤יחַ | lə-haš-kî-aḥ} conveys causation ‘to cause to forget’, anchored by the direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ}.
In context — Jeremiah 23:27
Those who plot to cause My people to forget My name through their dreams , which they tell one another, just as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.
