Exegesis
The participle nogeaʿ {נֹגֵ֣עַ | nōgēaʿ} ‘touching’ creates immediacy, and vayomer lo {וַיֹּ֥אמֶר ל֖וֹ | wayyōmer lō} ‘and he said to him’ leads into the imperatives kum {ק֥וּם | qûm} ‘arise’ and ekhol {אֱכֽוֹל | ʿekōl} ‘eat,’ forming a command-response structure.
In context — 1 Kings 19:5
He lay down beneath a broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly a messenger touched him and said, “Arise and eat.”
