Judges 19:13 שופטים
19:13וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְנַעֲר֔וֹ לְךָ֥ וְנִקְרְבָ֖ה בְּאַחַ֣ד הַמְּקֹמ֑וֹת וְלַ֥נּוּ בַגִּבְעָ֖ה א֥וֹ בָרָמָֽה׃
Why does it say "lecha" and not "lech"?
Judges 19:13 lecha?

Re: Judges 19:13 lecha?
Hi Kenneth:
I don't have an answer but my grammar book has a special comment on לֵךְ ("lech") - it says "The alternate form לְכָה appears 33 times". (note that לְכָה is לְךָ "le-cha"). I don't know why there's an alternate form though

Hi Kenneth,
This modus is like soft imperative (cohortative) to first person something like "let us go..."
