Exegesis
The imperative lekha {לְכָה | ləkāh} ‘come’ invites listener engagement, while the Hiphil cohortative iatsekha {אִיעָצְךָ | ʾîʿāṣkā} ‘let me advise you’ presents the counsel function.
In context — Numbers 24:14
And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, let me advise you , what this people will do to your people in the latter days .
