Exegesis
The Piel imperative pati {פַּתִּי | paṭ-ṭî} ‘entice’ intensifies the demand, while the Hif‘il imperfect veyagged {וְיַגֶּד | wə-ya-ggēd} ‘let him tell’ conveys causation.

In context — Judges 14:15
And it came to pass on the seventh day that they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, and let him tell us the riddle , lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Is it not that you have called us here to impoverish us?”
