Exegesis
The Hiphil infinitive absolute hokeakh {הוֹכֵחַ | hô-kē-aḥ} followed by the Hiphil imperfect tokhiakh {תּוֹכִיחַ | tô-khî-aḥ} forms an intensifying construction that mandates rebuke of amitekha {עֲמִיתֶךָ | ʿă-mî-ṯé-ḵā}.
In context — Leviticus 19:17
You shall not hate your brother in your heart; you shall surely rebuke your neighbor , and you shall not bear sin because of him.
