Exegesis
The construct relationship “angel of YHWH” places YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} as the angel’s sender and authority, while amar {אָמַר | ʾāmar} carries the main speech event. The sequence el-gad … lemor … le-david creates a mediated command chain: the angel speaks to Gad, and Gad is to deliver the message to David.
