Exegesis
The infinitive leemor {לֵאמֹר | lē-ʾemor} introduces direct speech, leading into a distributive parallel through veish el iro veish el artso {וְאִישׁ אֶל־עִירוֹ וְאִישׁ אֶל־אַרְצוֹ | wə-ʾîš ʾel-ʿîrô wə-ʾîš ʾel-ʾărṣô} “a man to his city, and a man to his land,” indicating individual dispersal. English syntax renders the asyndeton into natural direct address and preserves the Hebrew parallelism.
In context — 1 Kings 22:36
And the cry passed through the camp as the sun was setting , saying, “Each man to his city, and each man to his land!”
