Connection with the servant's prayer
The Hebrew verb in "let us reason together" is yakach (H3198), a law-court word: to argue a case, to decide between two parties. Abraham's servant used it at the well when he asked God to show him the woman He had appointed (Genesis 24:14). He asked God to rule on the matter, and then he waited for the ruling.

Reason together comes from yakach, the verb for deciding between two parties, used when God settled the case between Jacob and Laban (Genesis 31:42). Job used a word from it, mokiach, for the mediator he longed for, and Paul names that mediator: "the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5).
