Exegesis
A second ki-tishtarer {כִּי־תִשְׂתָּרֵ֥ר | ki-ti-sh-ta-re-ir} ‘for you surely rule’ shifts to the Hitpael imperfect to accuse of domineering, and the infinitive absolute gam-hishtarer {גַּם־הִשְׂתָּרֵֽר | gam-hi-sh-ta-re-ir} ‘also you lord it’ intensifies the charge through repetition. English reorders the clauses for clarity while preserving the escalating protest and rhetorical force of the Hebrew.
In context — Numbers 16:13
Is it too small a thing that you have brought us up from a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness , that you must also surely rule over us?
