Exegesis
The conjunction pen{פֶּן | pen} ‘lest’ introduces a warning clause leading to the verb yipgeu{יִפְגְּעוּ | yipgāʿû} ‘they may attack’, with bakhem{בָכֶם | bākem} ‘against you’ and the noun subject anashim{אֲנָשִׁים | ʾănāšîm} ‘men’.
In context — Judges 18:25
The sons of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, or embittered souls may rush upon you, and you will lose your life and the life of your household.”
