Exegesis
The subsequent vav-consecutive imperfect vay-yō-mer {וַיֹּ֖אמֶר | wa-yō-mer} introduces direct speech, comprising the imperatives qum {ק֣וּם | qûm} ‘arise’ and ekhol {אֱכֹ֑ל | ’ĕ-khol} ‘eat,’ linked by ki {כִּ֛י | kî} ‘for/because’ to signal the explanatory clause.
In context — 1 Kings 19:7
The angel of the LORD returned a second time and touched him, then said, “Arise and eat, for the journey overtaxes you.”
