Exegesis
The verse opens with the prepositional citation formula en to nomo {ἐν τῷ νόμῳ | en tôi nómō} “in the Law,” followed by the perfect impersonal verb gegraptai {γέγραπται | gégraptai} “it has been written,” which presents Scripture as a fixed, authoritative word.
The future indicative laleso {λαλήσω | lalḗsō} “I will speak” takes the dative indirect object to lao touto {τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ | tôi laō toútō} “to this people,” where the demonstrative “this” singles out a specific, covenant people.
