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
