Exegesis
In the conditional clause hāʾîš ʾeḥād yiḥtāʾ wə-ʿal kol-hāʿēdāh tiqṣōp̄ {הָאִישׁ אֶחָד יֶחֱטָא וְעַל כָּל־הָעֵדָה תִּקְצֹף}, the imperfect verbs convey deliberative inquiry about divine response, and the preserved Hebrew word order reinforces rhetorical emphasis.
In context — Numbers 16:22
And they fell upon their faces and said, “O God , God of the spirits of all flesh, if one man sins, will You be angry with the entire assembly?”
