Exegesis
The particle hinneh {הִנֵּה | hin-nēh} ‘look’ introduces the message content as an attention-demanding announcement, and the final placement of Eliyahu {אֵלִיָּהוּ | ʾê-lîy-yā-hû} gives rhetorical weight to the name as the climax of what must be reported. English quotation formatting is used to reflect the shift from narration (“you are saying”) to the embedded instructions and the quoted announcement.
