Exegesis
The Piel imperfect verbs tashkeh {תַּשְׁקֶה | tašqēh} ‘you give to drink’ and timnāʿ {תִּמְנַע | timnāʿ} ‘you withhold’ form a verbal parallelism of provision versus denial.
Fronting the direct objects mayim {מַיִם | māyim} ‘water’ and lechem {לָחֶם | lāḥem} ‘bread’ emphasizes the essential needs denied.
Root and etymology
l-ḥ-mlamed–ḥet–mem
