Exegesis
The paired imperatives pattî {פַּתִּ֣י | pattî} “entice” and ûre’î {וּרְאִי֙ | ûre’î} “see” direct Delilah’s role in testing Samson.
In context — Judges 16:5
The rulers of the Philistines went up to her and said to her, “Entice him and see by what his strength is great and by what we may prevail against him; then we will bind him to afflict him.” And we will each give you one thousand one hundred pieces of silver.
