Exegesis

The sequence hetalta {הֵתַלְתָּ | he-tāl-tā} ‘you have deceived’ and velo-higadta {וְלֹא־הִגַּדְתָּ | wə-lō-hig-găd-tā} ‘you have not told’ creates a chiastic emphasis on concealment.

In context — Judges 16:15

And she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? This is the third time you have deceived me, and you have not told me by what your strength is so great.”
