Exegesis
The paired imperatives bo’i {בֹּאִי | bōʾî} ‘come’ and asi {עֲשִׂי | ʿă·sî} ‘make’ outline the initial command, framed by the construct phrase kidvarekh {כִדְבָרֵךְ | kid·ḇā·reḵ} ‘according to your word.’
In context — 1 Kings 17:13
And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear . Come and do as you have said, but first make for me a small cake from there and bring it to me, and afterward you shall make for yourself and for your son.”
