and have you (masculine singular) enticed?

Morphological NotesWaw conjunction + interrogative particle הֲ + Piel perfect verb, 2nd masculine singular, from פתָה. The Piel stem intensifies or actively causes the state of simplicity or openness.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is in the Piel perfect 2nd masculine singular, expressing an intensive or active causative sense—"to entice" or "to make simple." The rendering preserves the interrogative force (with הֲ), the conjunction ("and"), and the masculine singular "you," while reflecting the root idea of persuading or making someone open/simple in a deceptive way.
