Exegesis
The noun amareha {אֲמָרֶיהָ | ʾămārēhā} is the subject of the Hiphil perfect hechelikah {הֶחֱלִיקָה | heḥelîqāh}, which conveys intentional seduction. The repetition of the preposition min creates an emphatic parallelism. The English reconstructions employ a purposive infinitive clause and active voice to reflect the Hebrew infinitive construct and Hiphil perfect nuances.
