Exegesis

The infinitive construct lēʾāmôr {לֵאמֹר | lēʾāmôr} precedes the prophetic formula kōh ʾāmar Yəhōwāh {כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה | kōh ʾāmar Yəhōwāh} marking divine utterance.

The construct pî Yəhōwāh {פִּי יְהוָה | pî Yəhōwāh} ‘mouth of the LORD’ denotes divine speech, while ʾet-hamitsvāh {אֶת־הַמִּצְוָה | ʾet-hamitsvāh} ‘the command’ highlights specificity.

A closing relative clause ʾăšer ṣivkha Yəhōwāh ʾĕlōhêkhā {אֲשֶׁר צִוְּךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ | ʾăšer ṣivkha Yəhōwāh ʾĕlōhêkhā} underscores divine authority. English renders the Hebrew clause order with SVO for clarity and preserves key idioms.
